You release the spring tension on the tensioner, a pulley in the belt system who's only purpose is to keep the belt tight. Normally you can use a ratchet to move the pulley away from the belt, but some are adjustable and require loosening a bolt.


What does it mean when there is a clunking sound coming from whhel that turns belts in the engine?

I'm assuming you mean a pulley, which is what the belts run on. If so, depending on which pulley the bearings could be bad or if it is the crankshaft pulley (big pulley near the bottom) the rubber could be getting bad.

You have a 1985 winnebago motorhome with a 454 Chevy engine where can you find a diagram for the belts you keep breaking belts and have no diagrams or rhymes or reasons for this - help please?

Check to see that all belts are tightened to factory specs. Too tight or too loose and they will break. Check the alignment of the pulleys. One out of alignment will cause this. Check the tensioner idler pulley if equipped. Installing incorrect type belts will also cause this. Refer to the link below for the diagram. If you have a serpentine belt it replaces the V-belt in (3) of the diagram. If you have the upper smog pump fitted it is powered from the power steering pulley.

Can wd-40 be used on squeaky auto belts?

Squeaking belts are the result of improperly adjusted tensioners and pulleys. The belt slides over the pulley and squeaks. Using a lubricant would defeat the purpose. Also I'm not sure what affect wd-40 would have on the material the belts are made of. To get them to stop squeaking tighten them up. Make sure you use your manual and don't get them too tight.
