There is also a spacer bracket that needs to be removed so the belt can be fully installed. Located at the front lower end of the pully side. You remove the bolt and knock the spacer out so the belt can follow the chase properly. Then re-insert the spacer bracket, and put your bolt back in. Ta-Da

All you really need to be concerned with is when you back off the tensioner pulley, use extra caution not to let it slip while you're removing the belt from a top pulley. This can hurt very much, I know from experience. If your belt is tensioned by the alternator then you've nothing to worry about. Thank you. P.S. There is a small black lable on the top of the radiator support to help guide you through the installation of the belt.

What is the name of the biggest poorly at the bottom of my Lincoln continental 2001
The lowest pulley on an engine is usually the Crank Shaft Pulley (CS). This is the pulley that makes the serpentine belt move and the other end of that shaft is what turns the transmission.

Water pump 98 lincoln contenianal
If your engine looks the same as the video, the pump can removed without having to move other components out of the way.

Drain radiator

Loosen the pump pulley bolts with the serpentine belt still on. This will put tension on the pulley so it doesn\'t turn. Then take serpentine belt off. Then remove the four bolts on the water pump. Have a drip pan under the pump. Clean pump mating surface on the engine. Install new pump with O ring. The link below gives detailed info.

How do you replace the fan belt tensioner on a 2000 lincoln continental
I`m pretty sure your belt tensioner pully is just held on with a couple bolts.Remove your serpentine belt,your main belt.look at the pulley see where the bolts are that hold it on and remove them.They are spring loaded so when u take it off make sure you have the new one to put on because once you remove it ,it is no good and have to put the new one on.

How do you get the serpentine belt back onto a 1999 lincoln continental? we can't figure out how to put slack in the belt to get it back on the alternator.
there is a belt tensioner pulley you must lever back to produce the slack needed to slip on the belt. There is a socket type cutout behind the pulley. put in the appropriate size ratchet handle or breaker bar and move tensioner arm back against the spring tension on the pulley. slip on belt making sure the grooves of the belt are in the pulleys correctly

How do i get to the serpantine belt on 96 lincoln continental
Step 1 Inspect the belt already in your Lincoln for cracks or wear. It is best to replace serpentine belts early, before any major damage occurs, as a break in the belt will cause a critical failure in a motor vehicle while under power.
  • Step 2 Find the belt routing diagram under the hood, this can usually be found on the top of the radiator mount. Lincolns, even those of the same year model, may have different accessories run by the serpentine belt. So the exact routing of the belt will vary from vehicle to vehicle.
  • Step 3 Loosen the tensioner pulley until you can push it relatively easily. The belt should still be too tight remove, if it is not the idler pulley is malfunctioning.
  • Step 4 Unscrew the idler pulley belt until the idler pulley loosens enough to allow the belt to be removed.
  • Step 5 Make note of the direction of rotation of the serpentine belt as it is important to install the new belt in a way that it is intended to rotate.
  • Step 6 Insert the new belt in accordance with your Lincoln's belt installation chart.
  • Step 7 Tighten the idler and tensioner pulleys an assistant with a pry bar may be needed to properly tighten your Lincoln's serpentine belt.
