--> Serpentine Belt & PULLEY Replacement Install H@lp <--

[KevSorbo]

So I got replacement Pulleys 3, 8, & 9. I also got the Serpentine Belt to replace too. I'm about to change it within the hour. Anything special tips or notice to take before doing? I just figure its an easy bolt off and bolt on replacement.

Thanks everyone for the help so far. I've replaced and repaired a few things myself thanks to this site.:th_thumbsup-wink:
​

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Nope. They all come off pretty straight forward...

Can someone show me which is the Serpentine belt for sure? Whats the best way to replace it on? THANKS! I just want to make sure I got the right one. THe mechanic told me it had to be fixed and replaced and I just went to go buy it.

Thanks!

Serpentine belt is usually your accessory belt (the one that goes around everything but the SC.

So I got all the pulleys and the S/C Belt on. However on one of the Grooved Pulleys, there was a small black rubber ring that broke (See picture below). I screwed the Pulley back on and it moved with no issues but I'm afraid I might need that.

Do I need this black rubber ring as the other pulleys don't have it. I've taken pictures of what I'm talking about in hope you guys may shed some light for me.

Thanks in advance.

Its a rubber/plasitc cushion part thats broken.....Picture below bottom right corner.

I tightened them up really well. However am I suppose to tighten them w/ a TORQUE WRENCH at a certain level? Thanks​
