you do not adjust a serpentine belt. the adjustment is done automatically by the tension pulley if belt is loose, purchase a new belt . also check that all pulleys are in good shape before installing new belt
Loosen the tensioner pulley on your 1992 Buick LeSabre. Take the serpentine belt off. Put the new serpentine belt on and tighten it down with the tensioner pulley.
If the truck doesnt have a tensioner than you must adjust the alternator
It uses an automatic tensioner- no adjustment is provided, or required.
you will find a diagram on the packet when you buy a new belt. there is also a diagram in the owners handbook
Automatic tensioner- no adjustment required, or provided. If the tensioner is out of limits, replace the tensioner.
There is a special tool for that. Try a GM dealer's service center. They should know which one it is.
Remove belt and tensioner should just be bolted to engine
Maybe $100 tops....
the diagram is in the left corner closest to the passenger seat
You don't say which engine or year but see my post under "How do you change a serpentine belt on a 93 Buick Skylark" for a possible answer.
Go to a GM dealer's parts department or service department. They would know.
The 1988 Buick Skylark 2.3 liter engine serpentine belt tensioner pulley is held in place with a single retaining bolt. The retaining bolt will be in the center of the pulley. Remove the retaining bolt.
It's on a sticker where the shock absorber is. If it's missing, a GM dealer's service center will have it.
Most serpentine belts can be changed on the side of the road. It is usually an extremely simple procedure.
Loosen the tensioner pulley on your 1992 Buick LeSabre. Take the serpentine belt off. Put the new serpentine belt on and tighten it down with the tensioner pulley.
If it's a V-6, it's at the bottom of the serpentine belt. There should be a diagram of the belt on a label where the passenger's side shock absorber is, under the hood.
I need to know if I need a special to to change my serpentine belt on a 2001 Buick Regal
