Loosen the center bolt on the pulley... Posted by Gene N [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Need help with drive belt replacement, Walter, Tue, 5 Aug 2003 09:11:53 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It sounds like you have the manual tension adjuster for the serpentine belt, right? Loosen, don't remove, the bolt going through the pulley, then the tensioner bolt will work like you would expect. When you have replaced the belt, tighten the tensioner bolt first. When you have the belt at the tightness you want, tighten the center bolt through the pulley.
You might consider replacing the tensioner pulley and the idler pulley while you are at it, if they haven't been done in the last 100,000 miles.
