How do you replace serpentine belt on a Ford Falcon?

Answer 1

You need to have a 3/4 ratchet and a piece of pipe to slide on ratchet handle. There's a square socket in a tensioner arm, insert the ratchet into a socket, slide the pipe on ratchet hanle and rotate clockwise. This will relieve the tension off the belt so you can take it off (easier to slide it off the water pump pulley). It gets a bit tricky when you need to take it off the tension pulley, a lot easier if you take the fan assembly off the radiator first.
