My serpentine belt broke in my 1995 Cadillac Deville 4.9L engine I checked all of the pulleys and after consulting the repair book the only one not free moving was the crankcase pully replace and how?
The crankshaft pulley is the only one directly engine driven. All the others are driven by it. ( the crankshaft pulley) If all the other pulleys are turning freely, assuming the total mileage deems it necessary, the belt just wore thin and separated. Just replace it and go. Good luck
What will shred a serpentine belt on a Buick century?
It might just be age. They tend to crack when the rubber gets brittle. Otherwise, it could be a bad bearing in one of the units, quite likely the tensioner pulley. With the belt off, check to make sure they all turn freely. The tensioner pulley could have a weak spring which would cause the belt to slip over the other pulleys. Dirt on a pulley or a frayed edge could cause this also.
