My serpentine belt broke on my 2003 Oldsmobile Alero, I bought a new belt but now i can't figure out how to put the new one on! The engine is a 2.2 and everything works on it air,waterheater,ect. If someone could help that would be wonderful! Thanks!
Brute force - you have to pry up the tensioner pulley. The way we did it was put the belt over the alternator and A/C compressor, and get it back in place around the main bearing pulley. Then we took a bar and forced up the tensioner and slid the belt over the main bearing pulley. Voila . . .
What a pain in the Fu*****A***. I had to use a mirror. A regular socket ratchet will not fit in between the car body and the pulley. You have to use a square swivel ratchet
I have a 2001 alero olds mobile with a 2.4 twin cam with the same problem but cant find a diagram,and the car has no manual to tell the size belt I need any ideal?
You should have a Belt Routing Sticker Under the Hood from Factory. If not, It is in the Back of your Owners Manual. Let me know if you still can not find it.
