I need to put a new belt on. I already have the old one off. I assume the car needs to be jacked up, then...?

 

You'll have to take the 2 14mm bolts that bolt in vertically to the frame on the A/C mount. Sometimes, I've had to also remove 3 of the 4 14mm bolts the bolt the A/C mount to the block and loosen the last one so that the mount will rotate so I can get the belt on.

Also, loosen the adjuster pully with a 12 or 14mm wrench (can't remember) and also loosen the adjustment nut so you can get the new belt on.

Once you slide the belt over the mount and get it on the pulleys, you adjust the adjuster nut so the belt is tight and then tighten the pulley itself.

Put the mount back on and you're good.

 

Thanks so much! I have a new problem now... I looked in the book and saw an idler pulley. I looked in my engine bay and saw none. I see where it is supposed to be, and that would explain why my belt came off while I was driving. The pulley is just totally gone now, lol. Any recommendations?

 

I think I have an extra one (if this is for the A/C belt).

PM me and we'll work something out.

I appreciate the offer, but I already have a spare. The problem is worse then I thought... The whole idler pulley is gone! So I will have to replace that too. Thanks for the help!

 

Easy fix man....just reaching around and feeling for that hole where you insert the bolt through the pulley is a pain down there.

And the directions above are right on...I just loosened the mount and squeezed the belt through.
