Loosen the tensioner pulley. When the tensioner pulley is loose the belt will come off. Put the new belt on and tighten the tensioner pulley.
The belt tensioner, U need a regular size ratchet w/out a socket. Stick the ratchet in the square hole in the belt tensioner , have the ratchet set to lossen and push down. U will see the serpentine belt come free.
Open hood Make sure to have a good belt routing diagram Remove belt from accesories by releasing tension using a 3/8 rachet in the provided square hole. Remove belt Remove bolt from tensioner to block Replace tensioner and torque bolt to 32 ftlbs Bump engine over(dont let it start) to ensure belt is installed correctly
the opposite way you took it off
It should be self adjusting, if it is slipping it could mean you need a new belt or a new belt tensioner.
Behind the belt tensioner. It has to 10mm screws holding it onto the intake
My suburban has a automatic tensioner therefore I need to do is take the tension off with a long wrench and slide the belt from underneath it and replace it with the new one. The tensioner is right by the water pump. If not then you will need to loosen the alternator bolt and drop the alternator to loosen the tension. Trust me manuals can be your best friend!!
It could be the belt or pulley bearing but also could be a pulley that is not level to the belt. The belt tensioner/pully could be out of angle by a few degrees or as in a lot of dodge caravans the main braket assembly/plate that holds the tensioner/pulley is warped and results in the entire tensioner to bolt on with a few degress more slant/level than proper and thus thus belt is always climbing/traveling or moving back and forth on the non grooved/flat/ portion support pullies.... usually being the tensioner pully which results in the squeeking noise..
The bolt pattern for a 2001 GMC Jimmy is 5 by 4.75 inches. The bolt patter is the same for a full size Blazer and the S10 Blazer.
really hard. find the right wrench and turn like your the son of zues.
There is a spring loaded tensioner near the top of the belt. Insert a wrench (whatever fits the job) and pull/push against it. Remove the belt.
Usually if you have trouble finding the ten. pulley on these types of motors. You can tug on the belt real hard and look for a pulley that is moving. That's your ten. And very true about launching the wrench!!! generaly these cars have a tensioner pulley... to loosen the belt, find the tensioner pulley, and loosen the bolt that keeps it from moving up and down.(could be on the block, but look around...) use a box end wrench on the bolt or nut head in the middle of the pulley... you will need to find the best starting position for the wrench as you will need to move the pulley and pull the belt off at the same time. the pulley will have spring tension on it so be careful not to launch your wrench when you let go! good luck Some of the problem may be that the '93 is made by GMC not Chevy (weird). But, the tensioner pully is typically located at the top of the belt assembly. It is a smooth pully that has the word "load" and an arrow showing which way to turn the bolt. It will hacve a bolt in the center and can be loosened with a 15mm socket. Once it is loose, rotate the tensioner pully until the belt can be taken off or put on. Push the pully back in to the vertical position with the belt in place, then retighten your bolt
