The short answer is "NO." They do not sell shortened belts. To fix the problem, you can do two things. Remove the a/c clutch with a puller and install a new one (a real pain!). Or, replace the a/c compressor.
The serpentine should route the same as with the AC except fro the AC compressor. The belt will go straight past the compressor, so you will need a shorter belt to make the bypass work.
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
In Short Yes Did it on my own 01 civic Just need to get different belt for the alternator
Have your mechanic run the serpentine belt around the compressor. I had a bad compressor last year, and the mechanic just re-routed the belt until I could afford a new compressor-then he installed it and re-routed the belt again so it would run the compressor. Purchase a serpentine belt the same vehicle but without A/C. The shorter belt will drive all the other accessories and is routed the same as the belt used with A/C, except for the compressor.
Yes, as long as the belt is neither to short or too long, and the proper tension is maintained.
You will not be able to route a different belt without the compressor even if you use a shorter belt but you can sometimes get what is called a "bypass" pulley for some of the models but I would need to know the year and engine size to see if one is available.......
To bypass the AC compressor on a 1995 Oldsmobile 98 using a shorter belt, first, locate the belt routing diagram typically found on a sticker under the hood or in the owner's manual. Measure the distance between the crankshaft pulley and the alternator or idler pulley to determine the appropriate length for the new belt. Purchase a shorter serpentine belt that fits this routing without the AC compressor. Finally, remove the existing belt and install the new shorter belt, ensuring it is properly aligned on all pulleys.
Yes, you can bypass the AC compressor on a 1999 Ford Ranger by using a shorter serpentine belt that does not route around the compressor. This effectively removes the compressor from the drive belt system. However, ensure that the bypass is done properly to avoid any damage to the engine components, and keep in mind that this will disable the air conditioning system. It's advisable to consult a mechanic for the best approach.
Use a belt that is about 12 inches shorter. pete duralast (auto zone) 775k6 fits just fine. just bypass the A/C with the belt. Rog
probably
You can unplug the wire going to the ac clutch, but if the bearings are the problem you would want to ask the auto parts house about a non ac serpentine belt if they make one. There isn't a shorter belt, but the part stores do sell a dummy pulley that goes in place of the compressor.
Shorter. Mercury has a shorter orbit than earth and 1 day in mercury = 59 days on Earth. 1 year on mercury= 88 days on earth.
