To replace a serpentine belt tensioner, first, ensure the engine is off and cool. Use a wrench to relieve tension on the serpentine belt and remove it from the tensioner. Unbolt the old tensioner from its mount and install the new tensioner in the same position. Finally, re-route the serpentine belt around the pulleys, ensuring it's properly aligned, and release the tensioner to apply tension to the belt.
There is a tensioner pulley on the belt and this should take care of this. Check the diagram of the belt routing just in front of your radiator. Tensioner pulley may be stuck also
Note:The drivebelt routing decal on the radiator shroud to help during drivebelt install * To replace the belt rotate the tensioner pulley clockwise to release belt tension * Remove the belt from the auxiliary components and slowly release the tensioner * Route the new belt over the various pulleys again rotating the tensioner to allow the belt to be installed then release the belt tensioner
Serpetine not timing. Locate the belt tensioner. Place a 1/2" pull handle in the square hole of the tensioner. Pull so that the tensioner rotates counter clockwise. This should remove the tension and allow for the belt to be removed(may need an extra set of hands).
I'm assuming you mean for the serpetine belt? If so, yes you can. It's held on by a single bolt I think. It's generally good practice to change the tensioner when you change the belt. It's not too pricey.
if ur talking about a serpetine belt u remove the old one by releasing the tension on the belt by put a 1/2 drive ratchet into the tensioner pully and release the tension on the belt and remove it then follow the diagram on how to run the belt and then pull the tensioner and place belt with that pully into the pully drive run and then release and ur new belt is on
show me a diagram of how to change my serpetine belt on my 96 olds LSType your answer here...
To adjust the serpentine belt tensioner on a 1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT, locate the tensioner pulley, which is typically mounted on a pivot. Use a wrench or ratchet to turn the tensioner bolt counterclockwise to relieve tension on the belt, allowing you to remove or adjust it as needed. Once the belt is in place, release the tensioner slowly to reapply tension to the belt. Ensure the belt is properly aligned on all pulleys before starting the engine.
`Loosen 19 MM stud centre belt tensioner. Then loosen 13 MM Sleeve nut that adjusts the belt tensioner (nut is located between distributor & power steering resovoir) make sure tensioner is fully retracted. you shold be able to get old belt off .But may have to get more slack by removing bottom alternator bolt.Assembly is reverse procedure.
In addition to moving the tensioner pulley, you might have to loosen the alternator to gain a little more slack space.
It is not hard. If you have the owners manual there is a picture of the route. On the front of the engine you will see a belt tensioner. Look at the belt tensioner and look close for a square that you can put a ratchet wrench inside the square. That is how you pull the belt tensioner back so you can place the belt on. It's just that easy. Be sure that all the groves are lined up on the pulleys and crawl under to make double sure. Did your belt break? Your A/C compressor is the biggest reason belts break. Listen for it. B
Yep It has one, If your question is how to replace it, there is a tensioner at the top between the powersteering pump and altinator that needs to be rrelieved of tension . Use a 1/2'drive breaker bar which fits into the square hole in the tensioner and push towards the direction that releases tension. Remove belt. There should be a sticker under the hood to assist in routing the new belt.
its a harry pickle like brooklen
