How do you change a serpentine belt on a 1999 Dodge Caravan SE 6cyl 3.8?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pull upon the belt and it will show you which way the idler pulley has to go to relieve pressure on the belt. Then pry it with a 15 mm wrench to relieve pressure and there should be a schematic under the hood to tell you how to route the belt. If it isn't there draw a schematic before you take the belt off. Don't rely on memory.

I put a ratcheting cargo strap on the 15mm wrench and secured the other end so as to pull the tensioner enough to easily slip the belt into place with both hands.

How do you replace the serpentine belt on a 2001 Suzuki Vitara 4cyl?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hello,

I found this question while searching for an answer to the very same problem after the belt broke. To replace it is really easy (once you discover how to do it!). Once you open the hood and face the engine, you will see to wheels without grooves. The one on your left is the one that tense the belt. To loosen the belt, just place a wrench at the 12 position and turn it clockwise to, say about 3 o'clock. That will move the wheel down and will release the pressure on the belt. To put a new one, just do the same. Please note that to remove the old belt (if it is not broken) or to place the new one IT IS NOT necessary to remove the small belt that you see attached to the radiator fan, just go with the new belt around and below the fan (between the fan and the radiator).

Have fun!!!

Can you use antifreeze to ballance a tire?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. Tires are balanced with small lead weights attached to the rim. Using a fluid of any kind would do nothing to balance a tire and could endanger anyone that would let air out of the tire at a later date (worker at a tire store for example)

How often should you wax your car?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It all depends on various factors. Is the car garaged? Is it driven daily? Is it washed regularly? What season is it? Rule of thumb: When the water stops beading on your vehicle, it's time for a new coat of wax. This can be anywhere from 1 week to a few months.

How do you tighten the power steering pump belt on a 92 Mazda Protege?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The power steering pump is held in place by two bolts one is accessed on the top of the pump body using either an offset wrench or a socket(requires lining up the holes on the pulley with the top bolt). The second bolt is on the bottom of the pump and is actually part of the adjusting mechanism (best reached from underneath the car). There is a bolt on the front of the pump (kind of closer to the radiator) that is the actual adjuster. Loosen the two mounting bolts (do not remove all the way) and tighten or loosen the bolt on front until there is only a quarter inch slack in the belt. Once the proper tension has been placed on the belt tighten the two mounting bolts and you're done.

How do you make magnetic ink out of house hold items?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You need really fine iron powder; a fine file and somthing out of iron you can file. Then a liquid to keep the iron in suspension; it should dry (evaporate) but not too quickly- water will work if you use your ink right away- if you wait the iron will rust and rust is not as magnetic as pure iron...

Jack vehicle under centre of front cross member just enough to lift tyres off surface. Place a suitable container under the Power Steering Fluid Reservoir.

You will have to take the transmission pan off and change the filter inside. Make sure you remove the old gasket as well and put a good new one on. Use silicon sealer. Ultra Blue is good. Top with new trans fluid till it shows level on trans dipstick (while engine is running)
