How do you fix a serpentine belt on a Chrysler LeBaron?
you dont fix serpentine belts. you replace them. open hood, although it is easier to reach the belt tensioner from under the car, you will need to route the belt from above. Take the tension off the belt tensioner (a breaker bar or rachet and the proper size socket with a pipe to give ya more leverage should work) and pull the belt while the tensioner is pulled away from the belt. to put new belt on, properly follow accesorie pulleys with new belt, leaving the tensioner pulley last once that far, take your breaker bar or rachet with proper size socket... and pull the tensioner away from the belt so that you can slip the belt over the tensioner, push the belt over pulley. release the tensioner and check to make sure the belt is seated properly on all pulleys.

You have to pull back on belt tensioner. Tensioner is right below the Altenator. You can use a ratchet to pull it back. There is a square hole that it will fit in. Slip the belt off. work your way backwards to put new one back on.

How do you release tension on belt 92 gmc truck?
There is a spring loaded belt tensioner with a pulley located below the alternator. You will need a 3/8 drive ratchet or breaker bar(breaker bar gives you more leverage). Insert the breaker bar into the square hole on tensioner and push down or counterclockwise and remove belt. If tensioner does not spring back spray it with lubricant and work it back and forth-they stick sometimes.
How do you change a Serpentine belt on a 2000 Suzuki Vitara with a 2 liter engine?
It's not so hard. Open the bonnet and face the engine. Note the routing of the belt, draw it if you won't remember. There will be a smooth (no grooves) pulley towards the top middle. Below this to the left is another smooth pulley. The belt should run over (on top of) this one. It is the belt tensioner. To loosen the belt, place a wrench or socket at the 12 o'clock position and turn it clockwise about a quarter turn. This moves the tensioner pulley down away from the belt, loosening the belt. Remove the belt. If the belt is not broken, remove it by working it carefully around and below the radiator fan, between the fan and radiator. To put the new belt on work it around the fan in the same way. Route the belt over all the pulleys except the tensioner (using memory or the drawing you made earlier). Again loosen the tensioner using the wrench or socket and slip the new belt over the tensioner pulley. Check the tension.
How do you replace the serpentine belt on a 2002 ZX2?
= How do you replace the serpentine belt on a 2002 ZX2 = Start by making a diagram of the belt route. Have the new belt handy. Raise the car on jack stands or ramps. Locate the tensioner pulley and release the belt tension from beneath the car on the front of the engine. (Bolt head is 14 mm) It will take some work but get the old belt off the car. (Good time to inspect water pump, hoses etc.) Refer to the diagram, route the new belt around pulleys. Leave the belt off the tensioner pulley, and the pulley immediately above it. Push the tensioner pulley back (to release position) and with the aide of an assistant, position the belt on the remainder of the pulleys. Release the tensioner pulley only after everybody is out of the way.
How do you replace the serpentine belt on a 1996 Chevy lumina 3.1L V6?
Purchase a belt and the tensioner ( I like the NAPA part for this) Using the correct wrench remove the old tensioner (located below the alternator between the engine and the fender well) Locate and view the diagram near the water pump. Route the new belt as illustrated reinstall the new tensioner. Start the car, run for two minutes. Shutdown and check your work.
Other than the pulley what else does a Whirlpool dryer belt have to go over when replacing?
A place to start when dealing with dryer belts and understanding how they work is that they have to go around the drum of the dryer and around the pulley of the motor. The only additional thing the belt comes into contact with is a spring-loaded tensioner. The belt does not actually go around the tensioner, but rather is pushed "in" by it.
