SOURCE: I want to replace the timing belt bearing on my Pt what is involved

This job is very time consuming.

Since the water pump is driven off the timing belt, it isn't much harder then doing a timing belt.

When I changed the pump on my 2.4 neon, I learned a few lessons.

One disconnect the passenger and front motor mounts. It will help create space to remove the passenger motor mount bracket.

Have a good crank pulley puller and a source of heat. A crank puller wasn't strong enough to pull my pulley off. Add heat and it came off with ease.

Those were my two biggest wastes of time when I changed my pump. I think your biggest headache will be the A/C lines. I don't have A/C in my neon, but I've pulled some parts from cars with it. It is a pain to work around.

The rest is pretty easy. If you are doing a water pump, think about a new timing belt tensioner . You can download a PDF file of the Neon/SRT4 manual there. It will tell you how to do a waterpump on the 2.4

SOURCE: the alternator belt keeps breaking on a 2000 mazda

i have a mazda etude/protege 2000 1.6 dohc.
i have the same problem with the belts snapping and the alternator generates a huge amount of heat. apparently this is a comman mazda fault.i'm still battling to cure my problem. there are no tensioner pullies on this belt,as it runs around crank and water pump. it has something to do with the alternator regulator or too much current drawing from somewhere??..

SOURCE: BAD BEARINGS ON AC CLUTCH ON A 2000 DODGE DURANGO

Buy a whole new clutch for about $200. You need a special puller to remove the old one if you intend to refurbish it. It's not worth the effort. Just remove the clips and knock the old one off with a hammer. Chuck it away and replace with a brand new clutch assembly.

Noise on belt tensioner or idler pulley

Carefully check the condition of the belt, the tensioner, and the idler pulley. I had the same thing happen and once I knew where to look, I could see that my idler pulley bearings were bad (understatement...they were GONE!)

Your idler pulley and tensioner need to look even and straight and not leaning in or out. A sure sign of a problem is if one or the other leans in toward where the tension from the belt would be on it.

The best way to check is to buy, rent, or borrow a serpentine belt wrench to take the pressure off and then try and wiggle the tension and idler pulley. If you feel any play, replace as soon as possible. I dragged my feet and ten days after I heard the noise, my idler pulley flew apart right as I pulled into work.

On a 2005 Hyundia Sonata, should the crank shaft pulley feel loose? I recently have gone through 3 steering wheel belts. I assumed the first belt frayed because it was old and brittle. The new belt...

No, there are no bearings in the crankshaft pulley. No, it's not a common problem. The pulley is simply loose!

First determine if the pulley bolts to the harmonic dampener or if it's all one piece.

If one piece, then there is probably 1 bolt in the center of the dished portion that has loosened. If not repaired, the harmonic dampener can fall off, possibly damaging the end of the crankshaft.

If it's not 1 piece, then there will probably 3 or maybe 4 bolts in a circular pattern around the edge of the pulley bolting it to the harmonic dampener. Check to make sure all bolts are there and tighten down. A flexible mechanics mirror comes in handy for seeing exactly whats in the dish of the pulley.

If I were you, I wouldn't start the engine until this is properly resolved.

Good luck!

ReplaceTentor pully on 1998 Town and Country

It very well could be the tensioner if it does not sit straight, or the idler pulley if the bearings have gone out, but usually 99% of the time it is the power steering pulley that is pulling out from the power steering pump, and that is usually what is causing the belt to mis-align especially at the waterpump pulley, check the alignment of that pulley very well.

I have a 2001 mercury sable ls and the bearing in one of the pulleys has gone out. how do i replace it?

The idle pulley is the device that you move to take the serpentine belt off and on. The bearing is the Ford alternator bearing, but you will have to press it on and off the pulley (wheel that has a smooth surface pushing against the belt). You can get a replacement pulley/bearing and bolt it back on the adjuster.

My truck is making a whinning noise when you crank it up. It then gets louder as you give it gas.

You could have a Serpentine belt going bad or the tension pulley has gone bad. The noise can also indicate a bad alternator bearing and your going to have to replace the alternator soon. The alternator will still keep working and producing 13 to 14.5 volts, but the bearing may be bad and will fail soon causing your alternator to total fail then. Good luck and hope it's a simple serpentine belt or tension pulley that needs to be replaced other then a alternator. If it's the Alternator that has gone bad, Auto Zone will have the replacement part and can give you the step by step instructions to getting the job done with common tools.

I hear a noise coming from the serpentine belt area. Sounds like a bearing. I just put on a new belt and the noise is still there. The tensioner seems to be working fine. What could this be?

Each pulley is has a bearing. The best way to check it is to remove the belt and spin each pulley, (except the crank pulley wont spin) and listen to each one normally a tensioner pulley or idler pulley is the problem. Note: not all pulley will turn with the exact freeness in feeling, for instance it will be harder to turn the power steering pulley than it will to turn the ideler pulley but just listen to the noise. If you got a bad one it will sound like grinding rocks. Good luck.

Drive Belts Squeaking

First off, how many miles do you have on this engine?Since you changed the belt and still have the noise,you have one of your pulleys making this noise.Usually it's the ideler tensioner pully.Take the belts off.Turn the pulleys by hand including the alternator pulley.if you hear the slightest faint noise there's your problem.repalce the part or the pulley. A lot of times the alternator pulley does this,the front bearing or the rear bearing as well will make these nasty squeals.Find an auto electric shop that rebuilds alternators and have them replace the bearing for you,while your at it service your unit,it will save you in the long run.

Timing belt and pulley

1.Your engine has an internal timing chain, not a belt.
Therefore I'm going to assume that you mean the serpentine drive belt.
Common causes for belt to fail is either a mis-aligned or damaged pulley, improper belt tension, or bad tensioner spring (if equipped with spring loaded tensioner) You mentioned a loose pulley but didn't say which one! That's what I'd look at first! Also, make sure that all pulleys have no "wobble" indicating a bad pulley bearing Most common: water pump or idler pulley.
