Will let you know in 19984
No The tentioner should have bolt in center move tentioner to apply belt
The diagram is under the hood. Pull tentioner to release tention remove belt/ replace
find tentioner pull counter clockwise. this will relive presure/remove belt. Reinstall
I have put the new automatic tentioner on but, I can't seem to get the belt tight and keep the tentioner in its proper grooves.
replace the belt not the tentioner also cost much less
To replace the drive belt on a '96 Suburban you have to release the tention on the tentioner pulley with a wrench or socket. Once you get the belt off of at least one pulley you can release the tentioner pulley. Remove the belt the rest of the way. To re-install the belt follow the routing guide under the hood. To get the belt all the way on you'll have to release the tentioner on the pulley again to get the belt all the way on. Once the belt is all the way on release the pulley and inspect the belt to make sure it's all the way on all the pulleys. Remove the wrench or socket and you're done. Hope this helps, good luck.
The lower part of the drive belt runs around the tentioner. It's where the adjustment is made to tighten or loosen the belt.
First make note of how the belt is routed. Loosen the tentioner bolt at the alternator just enough to remove old belt. Replace with new belt and tighten just enough to where you can twist the belt only a half turn. Don't over tighten!
call a mechanic.
our 2000 4.0 explorer xlt had a recall for the tentioner but the noise is still there so i believe there that's not the problem.
There is a diagram on the hood, to remove the belt look to the left behind the strut tower. There is a tentioner there and you release the tention by moving it with a wrench or socket.
Your water pump should run off of the serpentine belt. there shouldn't be a separate belt for the 4 cylinder. if you change the serpentine belt, there is a belt tentioner in the middle. using a wrench, not a ratchet(the ratchet will not have enough room to fully turn the tentioner), turn all the way to the right, remove the worn belt and replace it with a new one, following the belt diagram on the inside of the passengers side fender.
