How do you remove/replace the AC belt? There are a lot how to's for serpentine replacement but none that tell you how to remove the AC belt which has to come off first.

You evacuate the AC system. You remove the serpentine belt. Then you remove the compressor. But the hoses and secure the cut ends so they don't rattle around. The bypass pulley will fit in place of the compressor. Then you install the serpentine belt

sometimes you can bypass the ac with another type of belt sometimes you can call autoparts and ask for a vbelt for a none ac model sutch as yours if not then a smaller belt will do but you can go through 20 to 30 before find the right one so ask for your model of car without ac to see if exsists

First remove the engine plastic cover by removing the bolts that hold in. Then loosen the nuts at the front of the AC Belt and Power Steering Belt. Now use a Socket set and loosen these two belts by turning the tension adjustment bolt, Anti-Clockwise.

You have to remove the first two belts (AC & Power Steering) before reaching the Serpentine Belt.

Now loosen the nut on the front of the lowest pulley before loosening the serpentine belt.

To loosen the serpentine belt, you could either remove the metal skid plate at the bottom of the engine by turning the tension adjustment bolt, Anti-Clockwise or reach down from the top and loosen it with the socket set ( quick & easiest)

Remove the serpentine belt by using a breakover bar, rachet or serpentine belt removal tool with the correct size socket for the pulley mounting bolt. Rotate tensioner arm to release tension. Remove the belt.

Hope helped with this (remember rated this help) Good luck.

1st: remove serpentine belt then use tensioner by ac compressor to relieve tension on ac belt.
remove old belt & install new one then install serpentine belt

Just like your main serpentine belt, there is a tensioner for the ac belt as well. It may be easier to do it from under the vehicle. The main serpentine belt needs to be removed so you can have access to take the ac serpentine belt off. our vehicle should also have a diagram under the hood as to how the serpentine belt system is run. If you replaced the main serpentine belt, the ac should be pretty straightforward as well.

Unplug wires going to the compressor, and let it freewheel, if it's not noisy in that mode. A/C compressor won't kick in if not connected. A lot less hassle than going the other way.

how to remove and re-install serpentine belt?

You need to have an automotive technitian install a new belt because there is a certain path the belt must follow before it will go on, plus the belt must go around the A/c as it is part of the path. You just don't have to use the A/C.

Tell the tech that the belt broke so that he can look for a reason as to why the belt broke.
