Step by step instructions on how to remove a serpentine beltusing an auto ... I had already screamed when I ...
Hi there , there should be a adjuster on the alternator, unless it's a serpentine belt, if a serpentine belt then you will need a new tension bled idler, hope this helps.
The serpentine belt on the 1997 Dodge Caravan is responsible for keeping the front engine accessories working at all times. To change it, raise the hood, and locate the small belt routing diagram on the top/left side of the plastic fan shroud cover. Use the routing directions from the diagram to install the new belt.Use the bolt head that secures the tensioner pulley to the tensioner arm to rotate the tensioner. Slide the belt off of the tensioner pulley.may be it can help you and good luck------------------------------------------------------------------ zed-bull key programmer
1
Check to ensure the Sienna's engine is cold, then make sure
the Sienna is in park, the ignition is in the off position and the key
is removed from the ignition to prevent any possibility of the engine
engaging during the serpentine belt replacement.
2
Open the hood and locate the serpentine belt routing diagram
sticker on the side of the engine casing. Study it for a moment before
removing the existing belt. It is essential the new belt be installed
exactly as the diagram indicates.
3
Find the tensioner pulley, the main pulley that controls the
serpentine belt, and fit a 1/2-inch socket wrench over the
self-tensioner on the outside of the pulley.
4
Pull the wrench to the left to move the pulley forward, which loosens the belt, then remove the belt.
5
Compare the old serpentine belt with the new, replacement
belt for length, width and number of grooves on the belt's underside. Be
certain the replacement belt is the right part.
6
Fit the new belt on to each pulley according to the
serpentine belt routing diagram on the manufacturer's sticker, or
according to the drawing made prior to removing the old belt. Fit the
new belt on to the tensioner pulley last, again applying pressure on the
pulley's self-tensioner with the half-inch socket wrench to loosen the
pulley.
7
Release the pressure on the self tensioner and allow the
tensioner pulley to ease back into place, thereby tightening the new
serpentine belt with the appropriate tension.
Here's the procedure on how to release and replace the tension belt of your car.
Step 1
Open the hood on the Volvo S-60 and find the serpentine-belt routing diagram. The diagram should be attached to the top of the fan shroud that covers the radiator. If not, draw out the exact routing method of the serpentine belt around each pulley with a pen and a piece of paper.
Step 2
Locate the serpentine-belt tensioner that is in the very center of the engine. The tensioner will have a square bolt head in the center of the tensioner pulley.
Step 3
Slide the open end of the 5/8-wrench onto the square bolt head in the center of the belt-tensioner pulley. Turn the tensioner pulley counterclockwise and slide the serpentine belt off of the tensioner pulley.
Step 4
Remove the serpentine belt from the other pulleys and pull the belt out of the engine compartment.
Step 5
Slide the new serpentine belt into the engine compartment and around the crankshaft pulley.
Step 6
Route the new serpentine belt around each pulley. Turn the belt-tensioner pulley counterclockwise again and slide the serpentine belt around the tensioner pulley. Release the tensioner and it will tighten the belt around the pulleys. Look over the belt to ensure that it is inside of each pulley.
Step 7
Crank the S-60 and look over the serpentine belt with the motor running. Let the engine run for about one minute and shut the engine off. Close the hood.
The reason the service writers always recommend that the water pump be changed along with the timing belt and cam and crank seals, is that they are all located together, and it takes a long time (which you pay for) to take everything off to get to the area, so you may as well replace the other things which will go out soon with that high of a mileage anyway. Altogether, it runs between $500-$700, but it should last you another 100,000 miles. Your serpentine belt should cost about $130 parts and labor. If you are in doubt or the dealership has a bad reputation, have it towed somewhere else. Any time you have doubts, cal the BBB in your area and ask questions.
