Re: How to adjust de belt to grand cherokee 8 cilinders...
-
Step 1
Find the belt tensioner pulley. The tensioner pulley is
generally between the crankshaft and a component toward the top of the
hood area.
-
Step 2
Check the belt routing so you know how to replace the belt.
You may be able to find a belt routing diagram on a decal on the fan
shroud or in support documentation. Otherwise, make you own sketch for
reference.
-
Step 3
Rotate the belt tensioner pulley, using the wrench, to and
relieve tension on the belt.
-
Step 4
Slip off the old belt and slowly release the tensioner
pulley.
-
Step 5
Use your belt routing diagram to put the new belt onto all of
the pulleys. Pay close attention to the water pump pulley, as incorrect
routing can cause the water pump to run backwards and overheat.
-
Step 6
Make sure the belt is correctly routed and seated on all
pulleys. Rotate the tensioner again to allow for the belt to slip onto
all pulleys and then release the tensioner again to regain correct
tension on the belt.
