4 people can't figure out how to put it back on serpetine belt on 94 Buick

No, you do not need to remove the torque axle bolt to replace the serpentine belt on your 1995 Buick Riviera Supercharged Series 1. However, you may need to use a serpentine belt tool to relieve tension on the belt before you can remove it.

you push on the belt and should have a half of inch play on it...

Here is a pic for you if it helps please 4 thumbs up and a testimonial thanks

inspect the belt for visible cracks on the ribbed side, and glazing (shinny spots) on the smooth side. if any are present then its time to change it. I recomend a goodyear gatorback belt, they have a long life.

easy job all you need is a size 14 wrench and find the tensioner pully once youve done that take your wrench and put it on the nut on the front of the pully and pull upward once you see the belt to get loose enough to pull from the alternator pull it off work it in front of the fan until its out. make sure to draw a picture of the way it was routed so you can put it back on without a problem you will need to pull the tensioner while you are reinstalling the new belt so you will have enough slack in the belt to push it over the last pully. also take the old belt with you to the parts store so you can compare the size and part number from the old one. theres nothing more frustrating then to get the wrong part and figure it out when your trying to put it on

if it's a 3.8 the mount comes apart at bottom it looks solid but it's a bushing

u do not reroute the belt u buy an ac delete pulley, remove the compressor and install pulley where compressor used to be, contact ford for the pulley. very easy job.

if u have the diagram the rest is easy .you will need a racket or a loaner tool from auto zone put the racket n the tensioner hole a small square hole that wil move back and forth with some force

Go to this website : autorepair.about.com/library/images/b1869a-lib.htm Theres your belt route. After that belt is run put a I believe it's a 5/8ths or 9/16ths socket on the tension pulley. Pull down on it and you should be good to go............Thank you for using Fixya.com..........Please rate this solution...thank you!

looking down onto engine feed belt down to your left around crank pulley, route up putting back side of belt around w/pump then continue rest of belt around outside of remanning acc. leaving top idler last. put 3/8 drive ratchet into tensioner and rotate down slipping belt over idler
