You need a Z7 Clutch puller.
It takes a special puller. Your local auto parts store should have one available.
A spring loaded pully that keeps the serpentine belt tight
Lefty=loosey, righty=tighty.
remove the coolent tank and then use the pully to remove the serpentine belt. then you'll be able to see the water pump takes about half an hour tops.
I changed the drive belt and idler pully,now only one back wheel works.how do I fix it
the clutch fan is easy to remove and replace. you will see it on the upper most pully(water pump). just four 10mm nuts to take off. however the pully likes to spin so i use a screwdriver to hold it still or you could tighten the belt so it wont spin, just remember to loosen the belt back to where it is supposed to be once you are done.
Remove freon via EPA mandated instructions Remove drive belt from engine pully Remove AC hoses from rear connections of compressor Remove compressor mounting bolts
If the ac has a belt of it's own you can just remove, but remember when ac is off, and not engaged it is freewheeeling and ther is no drag on the engine unless there is something wrong with bearing or clutch. If you have 1 belt for all, of course you can't remove it.
The bearing lets the belt pully free wheel on the compressor input shaft that the clutch is attached to.
which pully do i remove tension to remove the alternator?
How do I remove a pully from the drive shaft. The snap ring that holds pully on has been taken off.Itried a gear puller but it bends the pully.
Locate the idler spring tension pully below the power steering pump. The pully is pressing down on the belt and has to be pulled away from the belt so you can remove belt from the power steering or alternator pully. You need a socket that fits the bolt on the tension pully and a socket wrench with a 2 to 3 foot pipe extension. Attach to bolt head, apply counter clockwise pressure enought to loosen belt to allow enough slack to remove belt. Do not get your fingers between the belt and any pully when removing. You might not like it. To reinstall. Route the belt and release the tension again enough to put the belt back on the last pully.
