Putting a new a/c belt on my 2001 GMC Yukon w/ 5.3L V8. How do I install the belt and adjust the tension? I can't see the tensioner pully adjustment. Does it take special tools?
Some of these didnt have a tensioner, if yours does it will be spring loaded at all times, but some have no tensioner and the belt has to be rolled onto the pulleys by turning the engine over by hand.. If this is your style the belt is. One time install deal if you take it off you need to replace it!!

Look at the front of the tenisinor there is a squre slot in it a 3/8 ths extention for a 3/8 ths drive scoket wrench will fit in it. Put the extention on the wrench and put the end in the slot then push toword the engine this will move the tenisitoner and release the tention and then you will be able to remove the belt.

depending on the engine thats in you vehicle, all newer gm engines run an automatic tensioner. . the tensioners bind up with age and the belt will start to slip and make noise. if you change tyhe tensioner, change the belt at the same time... it doesnt take long for a slipping belt to get a "glaze" on it, and then your truck with its new tensioner might still squeak.
