Tensioner belt.

[Hunter]

So, thinking that bearing in tensioner was bad, I removed to find out the fuckers sent me one 1 inch wide, not the 1-3/4 wide.
But I degress.
I cannot get the fucking belt back on.
Any ideas?

Serpentine belt?

 

[Hunter]

I can't get the wrench on the right side of the belt when I move the tensioner.

 

[Hunter]

Serpentine belt?

Yes.

 

[Unholy707]

I always route it through the tensioner /crank/ and the AC compressor first and then put breaker bar in the tensioner so I can get it over alternator last

Harbor freight also has a thin serpentine belt wrench I have and use, but it doesn't ratchet. They do sell an icon one that ratchets though

 

[Unholy707]

Sorry, your picture isn't loading for me

 

[Hunter]

Got it
Had to leverage tensioner with pipe to get the wrench on thru belt.
Fucker is I still have that noise

 

[Unholy707]

Yeah that one takes a lot of pressure. That sucks, put the old one back on?

 

[Hunter]

Wasn't the serpentine.
Was the blower belt.

 

[Hunter]

Yeah that one takes a lot of pressure. That sucks, put the old one back on?

Yea, had to.
The one they sent was only 1 wide thick.
The bearing I thought was making the noise is 1-3/4 inches wide

 

[Unholy707]

Aholes, I hate getting the wrong part.

 

[Hunter]

How in the world do you access all that?
Take the front off?

To route the belt? It's all accessible, just some bending of the radiator hose and underneath the car if you want to double check it's on the crank pulley. Usually I do it (mines still stock but have had the belt out) I have the supercharger hard lines out by the alternator and belly pan is off

 

[Unholy707]

Oh, and Intake and intake box out

 

[Unholy707]

Ohhh, supercharger belt isn't fun either. you have to loosen the serpentine belt to get it over it.

 

[Unholy707]

Have replaced a few times 😅 still stock tensioner from 2015

 

[Hunter]

Aholes, I hate getting the wrong part.

Thank you for the input.
Guess I don't have enough ass in my backside to do this stuff anymore.
Wore me out just removing that one (and then trying to figure out how to get it back on.
Probably going to be taking it to a shop (or dealer).

 

[Unholy707]

Anytime. Yeah, a breaker bar at least is a must in order to get the leverage you need. Hard doing it with one person
