Over the years serpentine belts and “V-belt” have been a common part that require maintenance. Back when I first started, a simple visual inspection was all that a mechanic really needed to spot a bad serpentine belt. Today that is not the case. New compounds used to make belts, have not eliminated the need for replacement, but have made How tight should serpentine belt tension be? In many applications, the serpentine belt needs only to be reasonably tight. The belt should have about a half an inch of play when at the appropriate tightness. If there is less than a half an inch, the belt will need to be loosened, if there is more, it will need to be tightened.
Here are the details steps on how to fix misaligned serpentine belt. Step 1: Locate the Serpentine Belt. The serpentine belt is a continuous loop that runs around several pulleys in your engine. It can usually be found toward the front of the engine and will have a tensioner pulley on one side. Step 2: Inspect the Belt for Wear and Tear.
They should be pretty tuff to move. Or see if you have any slack in your belt. I think +/- a half inch. No slack. Belt is tight. As is the tensioner. I have to put a socket on it every time that it kicks forward and it's not easy to move. 08-01-2011, 03:34 PM #8. blackcar.

Pinch that point between your index finger and thumb and move it back and forth. The belt should have about a half an inch of play when at the appropriate tightness. If there is less than a half an inch, the belt will need to be loosened, if there is more, it will need to be tightened.
But if you don’t have a manual, how-a-car-works recommends half an inch of play (13mm). In other words, if you hold the belt between your thumb and forefinger, it should only move by half an inch. A slack belt’s movement will exceed 13mm. The belt is too tight if the movement is less than 13mm.
To replace the belt, put the car on a flat surface, turn off the engine, and leave it to cool before replacing it. Wrap the belt around all of the pulleys, except the tensioner pulley, in Step 1. The engine compartment has a tight space for the lower pulley. Step 2 will require you to lift the front of the car with a jack and place it
A serpentine belt is a vital part of a vehicle’s engine, and it needs to be tight enough to function properly. If the belt is too loose, it can slip off the pulleys and cause the engine to overheat or stall. If the belt is too tight, it can wear out prematurely or break. The ideal tension for a serp
A special tool that may be needed when replacing a serpentine belt or automatic tensioner on a transverse-mounted engine in a front-wheel drive vehicle is a special serpentine belt removal tool. The tool has a long, flat extension handle that allows a socket to be placed on the tensioner bolt, so the tensioner in a tight engine compartment, can
The serpentine belt, also known as the drive belt or accessory belt, is an important component of a car's engine. Its primary role is to transfer power from the engine to various other systems and accessories in the car, such as the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air conditioning compressor, and more.

Insert your 1/2" drive ratchet or belt removal tool into the hole on the tensioner. Rotate it clockwise towards the driver side to release tension. While holding the tool, unhook the belt from a pulley. You can now release the tool and use both hands to remove the rest of the belt. Figure 2.
Step 1: Park your vehicle and turn off the engine. Step 2: Open the hood and locate the serpentine belt. The belt will be on the front of the engine. Tip: Take a picture of the serpentine belt routing with your cell phone. This will make it easier to reinstall the belt if you do not have a diagram of its routing.

4. Install the new belt. Replacing the serpentine belt is as simple as threading it into position, cranking the tensioner and slipping the belt over the tensioner pulley, or nearest pulley up top. Belt tensioners are mostly spring tension. Once installed, the spring retains pressure to the belt.
