you have to push down on the tension pulley, then you would get slack in the belt
A Chrysler LeBaron has a timing belt.
The bolt holding the pulley to the tensioner arm is left hand thread. The nut holding the tensioner to the engine is right hand thread.
The power steering is driven by the serpentine belt which must be changed by releasing the tensioner, located below the alternator. The only other belt is for the A/C compressor.
Disconnect the battery. Taking a ratchet and socket rotate the belt tensioner to release the belt. Remove the belt and install the new one. Release the tensioner, and connect the battery.
It is the rear most belt.
Hi, if your Lebaron has the 3.0 V6 then you have to replace the serpentine belt. This is the main belt (grooved)that drives everything except the AC. This is a fairly simple procedure. Locate the belt tensioner pully and release the tension, the belt will come free. Make sure you know the routing system of the belt. There should be a diagram on something under the hood or you can sketch it out on paper. Reverse the procedure with a new belt. Start with the lower pulleys first and then work your way up. The alternator is usually the last pulley to wrap around because it's the easiest to get to. Release the tensioner and you are good to go. rtalk7

you dont fix serpentine belts. you replace them. open hood, although it is easier to reach the belt tensioner from under the car, you will need to route the belt from above. Take the tension off the belt tensioner (a breaker bar or rachet and the proper size socket with a pipe to give ya more leverage should work) and pull the belt while the tensioner is pulled away from the belt. to put new belt on, properly follow accesorie pulleys with new belt, leaving the tensioner pulley last once that far, take your breaker bar or rachet with proper size socket... and pull the tensioner away from the belt so that you can slip the belt over the tensioner, push the belt over pulley. release the tensioner and check to make sure the belt is seated properly on all pulleys. Wahlah
what confuses most is the way the belt loops around the tensioner, the belt goes around the steering pump and crankshaft pulley, under the idler pulley, under the belt tensioner pulley and finally with the tensioner compressed around the alternator. the idler and belt tensioner wheels both get the flat backside of the belt. use your imagination. if you have too much slack, which is the route that will use up the most belt?? the 94' and 95' Chrysler Lebaron are fairly the same in serpentine belt order, although you may find a variation or two. The diagram is as thus... http://darkada.com/pages/serpentine.html Sorry about the link, but wikianswers does not support images
There is no fan belt it is an electric fan. Are you referring to the serpentine belt?
Put the serpentine belt around the pulleys on your 2001 Chrysler LHS. Tighten the serpentine belt by pushing the tensioner pulley to the left. Tighten down the tensioner pulley and the serpentine belt will be tight.
Noisy and chirpping soundS on a 1994 Crysler Lebaron could be as a result of the tensioner pulley and can be replaced by replacing the belt.
