This would all depend on the year and engine configuration/size. An easy way to figure it out is to take a piece of string or an old belt that is larger than the one you want to put on and cut it once. Then put it on where you want the new belt to go and mark or cut it to the length that it meets up with the one end pulled tight as you can. Make sure that the belt tensioner is run in so that you have plenty of room to tighten the new belt once it is on. Be sure to check out watchtower.org
need a diagram on how a serpetine belt goes on
Replace the timing belt at least every 100,000 miles.
if you can reroute the belt to bypass the ac compressor all you need to work out is how much shorter the belt is that you would require
93.5 inches for the bypass
192,000klms as per hand book
order the belt for your car and say it does not have ac
I t is either a 79 or an 85mm belt
Stock belt size is 102'' with the smog pump pulley. You will need a 94.5'' belt to bypass it. Make sure when you remove the pulley, that you put the three screws back in to keep the holes from rusting.
No, Have a look at the way the belt is. You cant just get a shorter belt and bypass the AC compressor as the belt would foul on the tensioner. u need a AC bypass pulley and bracket, and so far, i can only find these genuine
82.5 inch
if the timing belt broke while you where driving you need a new motor it smashed the valves and blew the motor
You can bypass the a/c compressor on the 1989 cadillac fleetwood by simply using a smaller accessory belt. I have found that a 77 inch belt works perfectly. There is no need for a bypass pulley and you won't find one for this model anyway.
