I threw the drive belt on my 1988 Jeep Cherokee and can't figure out how to repIace it. I need the drive belt configuration and any special instruction to replace it. It has A/C and power steering.
Can anyone help?
Thanks...Bill
To replace belt, first loosen the pivot and slide bolt on the steering pump, then use the jack bolt below the pump to move it. Belt goes (ccw) around outside of ps pump, under idler pulley, over a/c compressorover alternator over fan pulley, over crank pulley over water pump and back to the ps pump. best bottom (grooved area) should match with any pulley with grooves, back of belt should contact smooth pulleys. 9example...grooved part contacts ps pulley, smooth back goes under idler pulley) When finished the water pump should spin ccw (I've seen them put on incorrectly so it turns backwards) Tighten jack bolt till the long strech of belt is giving about 1" deflection, then lock pivot and slide bolts down.
