Auto Repair: Serpentine Belt Replacement

[joedangle]

just changed a serpentine belt on a 2002 jeep Cherokee Laredo and this video helped out alot. thanks!

Bad tip at end! Storing the used belt under the driver seat can cause it to move forward in contact with feat and pedals. Just like getting your beer bottle caught under your brake... Oooops! LOL

[HananEafergan]

Very useful video, removed some doubts

[SkankingJesus]

They talk to us like we're idiots because some people dont use common sense.... and then you'll get some of the above mentioned people who are pissed because they left their engine running whilst trying to replace a belt.

@moni370 haha isnt that why your here

[Fidocat]

The best tutorial I've seen. Thank you! One note, my Subaru Outback tensioner moves in the opposite direction as shown in the video.

[moni370]

Hate old videos like this one, they talk to you like your retarded and cant figure things out.....

[EpiquestGame]

Fantastic!

is serpentine belt the same as the power steering belt?? i was told my power steering belt needs to be adjusted but if this is the same thing i know my serpenting belt has not been replaced in several years so i reckon ill just replace it instead of just having it adjusted

great tip at the end. Always good to save in case of emergency thanks.

excellent explanation, keep up the good work, good illustration also and video, thank you.

[carautoparts123]

Thanks for the great explanation. How can you tell if your serpentine belt needs replaced?

[aztovegas]

@carautoparts123 Usually just listening to your car as you drive, a whistling or squealing as you either start up or drive is a pretty good indicator.

[xiaoxindiar]

awsome!

[lobextomy]

Not all cars have a self tensioning pulley., especially the ones that have separate belts for alternators, ac, and water pumps. You must check a repair manual for you specific car

my belt in my 97 250 vortec silverado just snapped earlier today. all day today, upon startup it would make a wierd noise n graduly fade, then on my way home it was making a whipping noise then it stopped and started to smell like burnt rubber. then my truck had a hard time running after that, i shut it off and pulled the snapped belt out. what causes a rubber coated copper insulated serpentine belt to snap at low rpm? how do i chck for seized pulleys? shud they all b easy to turn by hand?

This is a very useful video for the newbie mechanic, much appreciated.

[fourorthree]

great tips

had the feeling that these guys really take care.

especially mentioning the drawing and keeping the old belt for emergency situations are great tips.

thanks

[damwmnm]

I wish mine had a self tensioner.

[Nirvalica]

Me too lol I have to loosen the power steering pulley.

[joshua1auhsoj]

[joshua1auhsoj]

[shad0wh3arts]

[MehrerPerformances]

would a 94 s10 have a belt tesioner thingy?  im used to my 66 pontiac that doesnt have all of the shot.

[guitaristwagner]

the belt on my 99 taurus doesnt seem to come off so easily, its pissing me off i loosen the bolt on the belt tensioner pulley and the belt doesnt come loose that easily its really frusturating

[ezkeyboardkid58]

you dont suppose to loosen the bolt you push the bolt away opposite from the belt its you will feel the tension release

[IIIEOMIII]

Good video. Thx.
