Find the tensioner pulley. Use a straight wrench (I believe a 14mm) and turn the tensioner pulley bolt (the one in the middle of the pulley) counter clockwise (you may need an extension Pipe). This will release tension on the belt then slide the belt off. The tensioner pulley bolt is a reverse thread so it will not come loose when attempting to turn it counter clockwise. Slide the new belt on from the bottom up then turn the tensioner pulley counter clockwise (releasing tension) with one hand while sliding the belt over the alternator pulley (a long screwdriver wedged against the side wall can help get the belt onto the pulley) then allow the tensioner pulley to return to its normal position.

When do you change the serpentine belt on a mercury mountaineer?
The serpentine belt needs to be changed when there is more than a little bit of inter-groove cracking, or the backing is damaged. Consult your owner's manual for specific maintenance recommendations. Alternatively, you can ask your vehicle inspection station or mechanic what the specific mandated requirements are. If you can change it yourself, and do it correctly, that is a good idea, because most shops will charge $100 to $150 for a part that costs $30 at a parts store and can take as few as five minutes (again, if you know what you are doing) to change.

When should the serpentine belt be replaced and what should I look for in Ford Taurus - Mercury Sable?
Checking ribbed drive belts at every oil change, and the position of the self-adjusting mechanism indicator, will insure you catch a bad belt long before it snaps. The backside of the serpentine drive belt, or the smooth side, usually drives the water pump. If the serpentine belt gets oil soaked or glazed, it will slip and not provide the proper circulation to keep the engine cool. And if there is oil on the serpentine belt, it's coming from somewhere so you will need to find out where and fix it before putting on a new serpentine drive belt. Look for tears or abrasions. If you see any it means the serpentine drive belt is rubbing a pulley flange or bolt as it winds it way around. This will happen more often as the drive belt gets older. If this happens you may need to file a pulley flange smooth or bend something out of the way. Also look for pinholes and/or bumps. If you see any it means dirt and debris is getting in between the serpentine drive belt and the pulleys. Turn the belt around and see if there are chunks of the ribs missing. You can crank the engine to expose sections of belt as you inspect. A few, small widely spaced chunks are okay, But if there are many and/or close together, replace the serpentine drive belt. Hairline cracks are normal, but if they go into the backing, or flat side, of the serpentine drive belt you will need to replace it. A good rule of thumb for serpentine drive belts is that if cracks are observed 3 mm (1/8 in) apart, all around the belt, the belt may be reaching the end of its serviceable life and should be considered a candidate for changing. Small cracks spaced at greater intervals should not be considered as indicative that the belt needs changing. However, the onset of cracking typically signals that the belt is only about halfway through its usable life. If you take a very close look at the belt routing, it passes over a pulley wheel that is part of the belt *tensioner*. This keeps the belt tight as it drives the various engine parts (water pump, power steering pump, a/c, etc). On the side of the tensioner are wear indicator markings - extremely hard to see - clean the area with a rag and a flashlight will help. My opinion is the serpentine belt is such a critical part (can you say dead - stranded on the side of the road?), I replace mine about 30-50,000 miles as a preventive measure. Some experts recommend a 30,000 or 60,000 replacement interval. Btw, a belt costs about $20-30 See "Related Questions" below for more Serpentine belts can run in price from $20 to $100 depending on the make and engine.

How much does a fan belt for a 2001 solara cost?
That's a trick question right? Answer, there is no fan belt, the Solara fan is electric. Ok, you were probably referring to the serpentine belt. I went to the Autoparts Warehouse website and looked up the belt for the 6 cylinder engine. The price is about $17 for two brands (on sale) up to about $30 for a brand name. Pricing should be about the same at your local auto parts store. Hint, when replacing the serpentine belt, make a diagram of the path of your original before removing it. That will save a lot of head scratching later as you try to figure out how to route the new belt. Cheers
How do you you replace a serpentine belt on a 1997 Chevy Venture Van?
The auto parts store will have a tool for rent/deposit that has a bar with a socket end. Really, all you will need is the bar. There will be a serpentine belt diagram buried under grime on the alternator mount. Use that as a guide for the new belt. The tensioner is the wheel in the middle, surrounded by the other wheels. After you figure out the belt position, stick the end of the bar against the tensioner wheel and position the far end on a purchase below it. You can now lever against the tensioner and slide the belt on. This should take 30 seconds. Good luck!
