Open the hood and look. If it has a serpentine belt there is a tensioner.
If you have a 2.2 liter 4 cylinder, the water pump is under the alternator on the passenger side and below the serpentine belt tensioner.
Subaru 4 cylinder does not use a serpentine belt. The 6 cylinder instructions are rather simple, same as my '88 Cavalier and I presume any car that uses a serpentine belt. This comes from the factory service manual: remove collector cover install tool to tensioner pulley installation bolt rotate tool clockwise to loosen the belt and remove install in reverse order
You don't - it is a serpentine belt with an automatic tensioner.
the 3.1 liter v6 and the 4 cylinder both have sepentine belts
Find the appropriate size socket to go on the belt tensioner, put it on a ratchet or breaker bar. Rotate the belt tensioner counterclockwise, and that'll loosen the slack and allow you to remove the serpentine belt.
When changing the serpentine belt it is important to have a diagram. The diagram of the serpentine belt of a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo 6-cylinder can be found in its manual or a print out can be obtained at an auto part store.
Did you bleed the air out of the hydraulic system after changing the wheel cylinder? If not, you must do so.
There is an adjuster on the power steering pump. One cannot adjust it as it has an automatic tensioner if the belt is squeaking it is time to replace belt/tensioner or both
Take pressure off belt tensioner and belt should slide off pulleys
In order to change the serpentine belt for a 2002 Oldsmobile Alero, you must obtain a copy of the serpentine belt routing diagram from the manufacturer. Follow the routing diagram. Use a serpentine belt tool for loosening the tensioner. In order to position the belt, use a belt placement tool.
You need to go to a car parts store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.
You cannot. It is automatically tensioned by the part that you describe. If it is out of adjustment, a new belt and tensioner is required.
