How do you change the serpentine belt in your 2002 Hyundai xg350?

Answer 1

There are two belts - one to drive the Power Steering pump near the firewall and the other to drive the alternator and A/C compressor. Each belt has a tensioner. To change, raise front passenger side of car and put on jackstand. Remove wheel/tire and remove splash shield which will give access to the belts and tensioners. Loosen mounting bolts in the center of tensioners, then loosen the tensioner adjustment bolts which can be reached from the bottom of the tensioner. Remove belts, put new ones on and re-tighten the tensioner adjustment bolts. Then re-tighten the tensioner mount bolts to torque spec. All torque specs can be found in the freely available maintenance data available from Hyundai at www.hmaservice.com.
