How do you replace the serpentine belt in a 2006 Ford Taurus?

Answer 1

Honestly, you really cannot do it by yourself, it is most likely hidden among all the useless equipment in cars of this era.

Not True!While I concur these belts are typically hidden amoung the 'useless accessories' like alternator and are in seemingly tight spaces; Honestly You Really CAN do it yourself!

Replacing the serpentine belt (aux drive for alternator, Power Steering, water pump, A/C, etc.) on any vehicle simply takes patience and a little mechanical aptitude.

Don't be afraid to go for it if have:

1) A Chilton's manual for your vehicle ($35)

2) A Serpentine Belt tool ($25 to $45)

3) A light (Flashlight etc.)

4) A metric socket set

5) Replacement Serpentine Belt ($28)

6) First Time DIY ~ 3 hours, Beg-Int < 1.5 hours
