SOURCE: How do I replace the serpentine belt on my 2002

Take off, or loosen the front half of the wheel well. There will be 3 screws (7mm) and two trim clips There are two clips on the plastic piece just under the belt. Take those out, and you will have full access to the belt and the tensioner. The tensioner nut (so to speak) is 9/16, and cannot be accessed with a socket. Must use a wrench with a long handle. At that point, hook the wrench to the nut and turn it clockwise to loosen. Remove the belt, and replace it with a new one

SOURCE: 1997 saturn sl2 dohc is there a timing belt or chain on it

These engines have a timing chain, not a belt. They also have nylon coated guides under the cover that wear. If you change the chain yourself, or have it done, check the guides as well.

SOURCE: 2001 Saturn, need a Serpentine belt diagram

get a floor jack and a small block of wood. place the floor jack under the oil pan. jack up the jack until you feel it on the oil pan. remove the engine mount. you will need a deep 15mm socket and a 6inch extension. the mount has 4 bolts. remove it. then jack the engine up with the floor jack until the power steering reservoir almost touches the cowl. now take a long 14mm wrench and place that on the bolt head on the belt tensioner. pull the wrench until the belt slacks up. remove the belt. Installation opposite of removal. Here is a belt diagram. I hope this helps!! If you have any problems or questions e-mail me at: [email protected]

What to do for a siren noise on the front right side under hood?

I am not a big fan of belt dressing ... especially when you are not sure if the problem is a:
  1. dirty belt ... or
  2. dirty pulley ... or
  3. bad bearing on a pulley (idler, tension, A/C, alt, PS)
If you are at all handy I would take the serpentine belt off and check it's condition. How to change the serpinetine belt on 97 saturn sl2 do we have to change...
Which pulley got replaced? the idler (on top) or the tensioner (lower down)? Usually the idler or tensioner go first before an equipment pulley on the alt or A/C or power steering units.

How do you change a serpentine belt on a Saturn SL2 1999? Thanks!

open the hood and find the little shiny silver decal stuck on top the radiator mount. this shows you what tool to use and where to put it on the tensioner pulley. move it in accordance with the motion arrow, the belt will then become loose, you take belt off any other pulley and then release the tensioner. put new belt on in reverse order. helps to take off the right front wheel and get in through the access panel when you put the new belt on the bottom pulley. if the tensioner itself has never been changed, good idea to spend 50 bucks and replace it as the spring load tends to weaken with age, like all springs.

for future reference i have never looked under the hood of a car with a serpentine belt that did not have a decal or stick on showing how the belt is put on.

1991 saturn sl2 water pump replacement

well first you drain the coolant out at the low point on the radiator, that way it is saved if new. then you take off the right front wheel and remove the plastic access cover from behind the wheel to get to that side of the engine. then you take off the serpentine belt and etc. yes you can do this with the engine still in the car. you may want to consider replacing the serpentine belt and tensioner while you are in that area.

My belt is still loose after i changed out the

You will need an alternative wrench. The alternator wrench will grab the alternator for you and allow you to move the alternator to make the belt extremely tight. However, depending on which engine you have, you may have a serpentine belt which is tightened automatically with an tension wheel. If this is the case you have the wrong size belt and need to obtain the correct, smaller belt.
