Hard to tell if this question is to:

  • Release the tension on the belt for replacement, or
  • Remove the pulley/tensioner for replacement

How do you change the alternator belt on a 2003 Kia Sedona?

Easy. Use a 14mm socket to loosen the bolt which goes thru the tensioner pulley. This allows you to adjust the tension. The bolt which adjusts the tension has its head pointing at the ground and if you look up from under the van, just to the right of the oil filter (presuming you are facing the front of the van) you'll see that bolt head behind the tensioner pulley. Again use a 14mm socket (on an extension bar) and turn ccw to loosen and cw to tighten.

You are not suppose to tighten a timing belt. Only when you install a new one does that get done. When you are replacing it you have to loosen up the tensioner pulley assembly and it self adjusts under spring tension. Good luck

How do you loosen the tensioner pulley in a 1996 Tracker?

We recently replaced the serpentine belt on our 2003 Chevrolet Tracker. We were able to place a wrench (I believe it was 9/16") on the tensioner pulley and apply pressure so the pulley released tension on the belt. This however did no allow enough slack to install the new belt so we removed the idler pulley at the top center of the engine. With the idler pulley removed we were able to route the belt and with the tension released on the tensioner pulley, routed the belt under the idler pulley and reinstalled the idler pulley, then released the tensioner pulley and the belt was installed. Be sure to note the exact route of the old belt before removal so the new belt follows the same path. Hope this helps.
