We have new belt and resonable amount of tools to replace but I am having trouble trying to figure out which pulley or tensioner is the one used to adjust (loosen/tighten belt) when replacing the belt.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

We are about 40 miles from home with the main belt thrown. We have new belt and resonable amount of tools to replace but I am having trouble trying to figure out which pulley or tensioner is the one used to adjust (loosen/tighten belt) when replacing the belt. We are on a wireless connection via a laptop and any quick help would be a huge blessing...........THX

POST 2Original post

This is GallerieHughie/Robert's Picture. This pix is for alternator removal.. the only thing you have to turn for the serpentine belt removal/replacement is the one in the middle where it says "turn clockwise+remove belt" I found it in search feature. Take a picture before you take it off so you could look at it for the routing COMPARISON. ooops sorry, yours already broke. Just refEr to the drawing below with nos. No 7 is what you need to turn.

POST 3Original post

if you threw a belt chances are something else is wrong its 24 mm

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Wow, thanks for that quick diagram...working on it. And yes, there is always something to look for when a belt goes....just need to get her home slowly first. Thanks very much...

POST 5Original post

Way to go Mike! Props to helping another Rennlister out when in dire need in a VERY expeditious manner late at night and 40 miles form home with a blown belt!!!!!

POST 6Original post

+1, Check that all the components spin freely or with slight resistance, nothing should be hard to turn or locked. Make sure that there isnt any misalignment of the components also.

POST 7Original post

My belt slipped due to the tensioner rusting over as the car was sitting more than being driven so water would pool and not escape... rust. Check that if you don't drive your car much.

POST 8Original post

POST 9Original post
