Serpentine Belts
A serpentine belt is a single, continuous belt utilized in driving devices – such as power steering pump, alternator and others – in an automotive engine. First used by Mercedes-Benz, the belt is more efficient than the older multiple belt system.

How do you fit belt tension spring to mountfield sp470 lawnmower?
The spring clips onto the gearbox, which is found over the end of the belt pulley inside the plastic rear baffle. The gear box is sits on the wheel drive shaft and is not fixed to the mower frame, so it has some twinting movement. The spring clips to the gearbox and to the rear plastic frame and pulls the gearbox in the opposite direction to the belt. This small amount of tension is sufficient to allow the belt to engage and drive the wheels. If you wheels will not turn it could be this spring has broken or stretched but it could also be that the clutch cable (linked to the black handle) has stretched or your belt has broken or stretched. If you are sure it is this spring that needs replacing then it is tricky to access and you need to at least turn the mower upside down to access. Drain petrol and oil first and disconnect the spark plug lead also. If you cannot find the attachement point then you may have to remove the gearbox, or if you need to remove the gearbox, this is done by removing the wheels, then the drive cogs. Be careful as there are small pins and drive bits inside the cogs. The gearbox removeal is a relatively tricky job and may be better lest to the experts or an experoenced home mechanic.
Belt routing diagram for 2002 Toyota Echo?
See related link. If it starts squeaking after replacement (or otherwise) you need to make it tighter (common problem with Echo). To do this, you need to first loosen the three bolts on the alternator (two on top, one on bottom) then you can pivot it forward by putting a pry bar between the alternator and the engine and pushing the top of the pry bar back toward the windshield.

How do you route a belt on an 1988 Chevrolet celebrity?
Routing of the serpentine belt depends on which engine your car has as well as whether or not the car has air conditioning. There should be a routing diagram under the hood of the car.
There are probably several ways, but the best is to use the part number created by the manufacturer of the vehicle or piece of equipment upon which the belt is to be used.j3h.
How do you replace the belt tensioner on a 1991 cavalier?
How to change the serpentine belt tensioner on a 1991 2.2L Chevrolet Cavalier:
The tensioner comes as an assembly (aluminum plate with pre-loaded spring and pulley). These are EXACT instructions on how to do this year/model and is not a generic answer.
This tensioner plate assembly also fits on these models:
- 1987 1988 1989 Buick Skyhawk 2.0L
- 1993 1994 1995 1996 Buick Century 2.2L
- 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 Chevy Cavalier 2.2L or 2.0L
- 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 Chevy Corsica 2.2L or 2.0L
- 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 Chevy Beretta 2.2L or 2.0L
- 1987 1988 Oldsmobile Firenza 2.0L
- 1993 1994 1995 1996 Oldsmobile Ciera 2.2L
- 1993 1994 1995 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera 2.2L
Step 1: Disconnect Battery.
Step 2: Remove Belt - 15mm wrench on pulley - turn clockwise to remove tension. There may be no spring tension - but that's why you're changing it - right?
Step 3: Remove Power steering pump - Remove small bolt (10mm) on the back side of power steering pump (you are facing engine from passenger side). Use a box-end wrench or one of those ratchet box-end wrenches. Next, there are 3 bolts (13mm) in the front - behind the pulley. There are holes in the pulley specifically for the purpose of removing these bolts. I used a magnet to pull the bolts out after loosened but you may be able to reach under the pulley with your fingers to get them out. You should now be able to move the pump out of the way toward the firewall. Be careful to not break the plastic top. If you have to pry it, do it on the bottom metal part. No need to remove any hoses.
Step 4: Remove alternator - Remove all bolts holding the alternator in place. It should just be laying there (Upper alternator bracket removed).
Step 5: Remove belt tensioner assembly plate - Remove four 15mm bolts that hold the aluminum plate to the engine block. Mine were on pretty tight so I had to use a breaker bar to get 'em off.
Re-assembly:
Step 6: Compare new tensioner assembly with old one. They should match. Attach plate to engine block with four 15mm bolts. Make sure they're tight. You don't want this to come loose.
Step 7: Re-align power steering pump to 3 holes in tensioner plate and screw in the 3 bolts (don't tighten yet). Next - take the small 10mm bolt that goes in the back of the pump assembly and carefully get it started with your fingers (left hand) The 2 holes should be aligned because the 3 bolts in front are started. Tighten all 4 bolts.
Step 8: Alternator - Re-install the long bolt and nut that goes in the bottom of the alternator (you may have to loosen the lower alternator bracket so the holes align). Don't tighten bolt and nut yet. Let the alternator pivot/swing towards the engine. This will make it easier to get the belt on (This is the way I did it - you may be able to get the belt on with all alternator bolts in).
Step 9: Serpentine belt install - If new belt, make sure it's the same length as the old one. Route the belt like the diagram sticker. The alternator is the last pulley it will go over. If you can get someone to help you here, it's a lot easier. Turn the 15mm bolt on the tensioner pulley clockwise until there's enough slack to slip the belt over the alternator pulley. While keeping the tension off the pulley, replace the other 2 bolts/upper alternator bracket. Slowly let the the tensioner spring back. Replace and tighten the rest of the alternator/bracket bolts.
Step 10: Re-connect battery
Need belt diagram for craftsman mower mod 917.272264?
The first link will take you to the manual and pages 22 and 24 should help. additionally the second link will take you to one of my sites and it is the EHP decks that will be of interest. I encourage you to check both; the second on because I separate the belts and routing. I am assuming the deck belt.

How do you replace the serpentine belt on a 2003 Ford Ranger?
Find the spring-loaded tensioner pulley on the top of the engine and get a socket to fit it. Use a large breaker bar or socket to ease tension off the belt. Pull the old belt off and route the new one in it's place. Let the tensioner pulley back down and you're back in business.
