How do you replace the serpentine belt/where is the tensioner pulley?


Recommended Posts

My car crossed over 70k miles recently, and afaik the serpentine belt has not bee replaced. I was looking at this today and with the tight clearance I can't figure out which pulley is the tensioner.

This is a 2005 RWD Northstar.

Anyone done this can give me any hints?

Thanks!

The tensioner pulley is the one on the drivers side right below where you add power steering fluid. You will see a square hole where you can use a 1/2 inch breaker bar to relieve the tension.

Also, put clockwise pressure on the tensioner pulley. Chances are you will find it easiest to push on a breaker bar with your left hand and pull the belt off with your right. So you will be facing towards the drivers side fender while standing in front of the engine and push the breaker bar clockwise.
