Putting on belt

Should be picture around. Always first look before taking off.

Rotate the tensioner using a 3/8 in socket driver to loosen the belt. Carefully remove the belt form any pulley. Release the tensioner and replace the belt on all pulleys except the alternator. Rotate the tensioner again and put the belt over the alternator pulley. Release the tensioner and verify the belt is properly engaging all pulleys.

I have found a answers that maybe can help you. There is at least one pulley the the belt runs around that is not part of any device. Put your ratchet on the center nut for that pulley in the on position. When you put pressure on the ratchet the whole pulley should move like it's on a spring. if it doesn't try the other pulley. there should be a diagram under the hood showing where the belt goes. put the belt over all the pulleys but one. put pressure on the ratchet until the pulley moves enough to slip the belt over the last pulley. you're done!

start from bottom crankshaft pulley and ac compressor turn belt tensioner counterclockwise or lift forward then run pulley belt around crankshaft pulley and around AC compressor,run pulley belt around power steering pump then around alternator,once drive belt around alternator you done make sure drive is center of crankshaft pulley and AC compressor pulley.and belt back is center against water pump pulley before releasing the belt tensioner.

Inspection

Inspect the drive belt for signs of glazing or cracking. A glazed belt will be perfectly smooth from slippage, while a good belt will have a slight texture of fabric visible. Cracks will usually start at the inner edge of the belt and run outward. All worn or damaged drive belts should be replaced immediately.

Removal & Installation

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Rotate the auto tensioner clockwise to release tension, then remove the drive belt.

To install:

1. Install drive belt (A). Route the belt over the components in the following order: Crankshaft pulley - A/C pulley - idler pulley - generator pulley - water pump pulley - P/S pump pulley - tensioner pulley.
2. Rotate auto tensioner arm in the counter-clockwise moving auto tensioner pulley bolt with wrench.
3. After putting belt on auto tensioner pulley, release the auto tensioner pulley slowly.

First check all pulleys for wobble or looseness. If all pulleys are OK, use the below diagram to put the belt on all pulleys except alternator. Put a wrench on tensioner pulley and pull down until the belt will slip onto the alternator pulley. Check that belt is still on all pulleys before starting. If belt comes off again, one of the components is failing (usually an idler, tensioner or water pump wobbling).

I am not familar with your particular vehicle so what I provide is general guidance. I am addressing this for a serpentine belt (not to be confused with a timing belt). If you removed any of the pulleys in replacing the belt check and make sure you put the pulley on correctly. It is not that difficult to reverse a pulley when putting it on. If you losened a pulley or tensioner then go back to those pulleys and make sure the pulley is lying flat against its mount. Take a look at which pulley is out of allignment compared to the others. The one pulley that is out of allignment is where your problem is. If you did not remove or losen any pulleys (only losened a tensioner) in pulling the belt just go ahead and put the belt back on and see what happens. If it was a timing belt you were talking about you would never just try putting it on as poping a serpentine belt is not a big deal but pop a timing belt can ruing your engine.

Depending on the size of the motor the belt tesioner turns clockwise. find a wrench to put on the bolt of the pulley itself and turn it clockwise this will release the tension on the belt allowing you to pull it off the first available pulley. Just take it off that one pulley "Alternator, Power steering pump, Idler pulley whichever is closest and easiest to remove the belt off of go with that one. Unfortunately i was unable to find a belt diagram for you. There should be a diagram for you on under the hood this will tell you where to put the belt around each pulley. You do not have to hold the tensioner as you take the belt off each pulley after the first release it slowly. as you put the belt back on around each pulley leave the belt off that one pulley that u started with. Grab the tensioner again turn it clockwise as done before and put the belt on that one pulley release it and your done. Check each pulley to make sure the belt is on right if it is off by one groove it can and will throw the belt the first time you start the vehicle. then you would have to start the process all over again. If there are anymore questions feel free to reply and i will get back to you.

you have two belts . put the large belt on first . it goes around crank pulley air conditioning pulley alternator pulley.loosen tension pulley to adjust belt. tension. then you put the other belt on power steering pump pulley and crank pulley. adjust belt tension loosen power steering pivot bolt. that it.

1.Most modern cars have an IDLER pulley in the fan belt train of pulleys with a heavy spring on it that keeps tension on the timing belt.

2. Get a spanner/socket and put it on the nut in the middle of the idler pulley.

3.heave on the spannner and the pulley will swing up/down out of the way realeasing tension on the belt. (depending on the tensioner setup)

4. Simply remove old belt and thread new belt on. Simple.
