Best Answer

Take a 1/2" ratchet ot breaker or torque wrench without a socket and place it in the square slot in between the two small pulleys on the auto tensioner and pull hard towards the passenger side fender - the belt will come off. Be careful and make certain that your ratchet is secure in the slot!

How do you tighten the belt on a f350?

If your F350 has a serpentine belt it really can't be 'tightened'. The tensioner, located on the passenger side second pully down on a 7.3 PSD, is what provides the tension on the belt. If you are getting slack then it is probably time to replace the tensioner. If you are at all mechanically inclined it is a fairly easy task. Even if you are not and have a Haynes manual you can probably knock it out in a few hours.


How do you move the Idler Arm to put on serpentine belt F350 diesel 6.0?

Use a long breaker bar with a 3/8" or a 1/2" drive on it and insert the drive into the square on the tensioner,it should be easy to see, then release the tension on the belt,then remove the belt and install new belt then you can put the tensioner back on to the belt by moving the tensioner so the belt will slip on. Look on your radiator top support there is a diagram of how the belt goes around all the pulley's.
