between Power Steering pump and water pump it sits in the middle of 4 pulleys water punp, power steering, ac compressor, and crankshaft
You can do that by replacing the tensioner
You do not tighten a serpentine belt. It has a tensioner that keeps it at the correct tension. If it is loose, either the belt is worn and needs replacing or the tensioner is defective.
Remove the serpentine belt and remove the alternator. The belt tensioner bolts are under the alternator.
Remove serpentine belt. Remove alternator. The bolts that hold the tensioner on are under the alternator.
u do not adjust belt tensioner if belt is loose, u need to replace belt as tensioner works automatically
The belt tensioner should have a single mounting bolt. After removing the serpentine belt, the bolt can be removed to take the tensioner off.
You can't. it has an automatic self adjusting belt tensioner on it.
Pulleys misaligned? Defective tensioner?
My alternator stopped recharging my battery but I can't take the tension off my serpentine belt to put my alternator back on.
It could be due to a vacuum leak or a faulty idler or tensioner bearing on the serpentine belt.
I just did one today for my uncles 2000 Leganza 2.2. The trick is that the belt goes around the tensioner then the crankshaft pulley. It should make an s from the bottom of the alt. pulley to the tensioner then to the crank.
Yes, on a 3.3 or 3.8 the serpentine belt pulley does come off the tensioner arm but the bolt is left thread not right handed.
