Serpentine belt I would like to bypass the ac on a 2003 Toyota Echo with the serpentine belt. Can I do it? What size belt would I need?

Did you check under the hood? There should be a decal w/ the proper routing of the belt somewhere in or around the engine compartment. If u can't find it, let me know, I'll try to get more info. countrycurt0

Hi there weekie,

Simple and easy. Really.

• Get a 14mm or 9/16" socket and a long handled ratchet or breaker bar.
• The tensioner pulley is on a spring loaded arm. Get your socket on the center nut of this pulley.
• Slowly pull the ratchet toward the center of the engine. The pulley will pivot on the arm allowing you to get the belt off.
  
• Slowly release the tension.
  
• You're done

The only way to loosen and tighten the serpentine belt is by loosening the alternator and sliding it back or forward. There are TWO bolts that must be loosened, one above, and one below the alternator pulley. A bit of penetrating oil can make things easier.

I doubt anyone knows that off the top of their head. You could run a string through the path you want the belt to take and measure how much string it takes. This will give you an approximate length for the belt -- most parts stores could find one close to that size.
