Thread: Quick LS4 Belt Removal

Props to whoever posted it on GMLS4.com i cant remeber the picture but there damn sure isnt a writeup anyway it goes as follows

No need to remove the wheel at all just crank the steering wheel to the right

use a 4' hose clamp bend it like so



Use a 8 mm socket and ratchet and start tightening it down eventually it will conform around the tensioner and voila! you you can take off belt by hand no expensive tools no headaches quick and easy

i did it once like that after you told me how to. and btw you should update your sig now

i really think this should be stickied in the 5.3 section. i send a link to this to people all the time

So this avoids the issue of the tensioner popping out and dropping quite a bit...I like.

Glad you posted this before I swapped the PS pump this weekend Stickied.

I put it in the how to section and left a permanent redirect from where the original thread was. How's that?

Works perfectly! thanks. I honestly send a link to this to people on a weekly basis

hanks for putting this up guys. I should edit this to show the prybar method which is even quicker

add it in the first post as an option 2 method
