Without it, routing the new belt will be a nightmare. 04: To remove the belt, place the end of the breaker bar or tensioner bar into the square hole on the belt tensioner. Press the tensioner down to relieve the tension on the belt so it can easily be removed. 05: Carefully remove the belt from each of the pulleys. Removing the intake hoses. Using either your E10 socket or 17mm, turn the tensioner counterclockwise to remove tension from the belt. Insert your punch or rivet into the tensioner. This will lock the tensioner in place, and keep tension off of the belt. Un-route the belt from the engine pulleys, and out of the engine. Remove front right tire. Remove 4 plastic fasteners holding the splash guard (approx. 12"x 16") near the bottom front of the wheel well. Remove the splash guard. Route the belt around all pulleys by working through the wheel well and from the top of the motor. Gather up all the excess slack near the tensioner. Remove the serpentine belt from the pulleys by pulling it out. Line up the new serpentine belt starting on the pulleys above and lining it up lastly on the pulleys below. Make sure all the grooves on the serpentine belt are aligned very well to the pulleys. Once the tensioner pulley is set, place the 14mm wrench back to the center bolt of the 1 - replacement serpentine belt, Mopar #53032037AK or equivalent. Then take your socket and place it on the center bolt. Rotate the handle clockwise, the tensioner will rotate up and in: Now remove the serpentine belt from the tensioner pulley, then release the tensioner pulley. You can now remove the serpentine belt. Push the ratchet clockwise to loosen the belt. Pull the belt off the alternator. Release the tensioner. Pull the belt off and out. step 2 :Removing the Serpentine Belt Tensioner. 2:02. Remove the three 10mm bolts from the tensioner. Pull off the serpentine belt tensioner. step 3 :Installing the New Belt Tensioner. Step 5 (slide the belt over a roller): The new belt should be wrapped around the crankshaft pulley and then around the grooved pulleys. Finally, to do the job, slide the belt over a roller that has no grooves or rounded edges. Note: You can watch this video for more detailed information. Once the belt is around all three pulleys, the alternator can be moved away from the engine block to add tension to the belt. The recommended tension for the serpentine belt can be measured by the deflection over a given span. In a 10-groove, J-type belt, that deflection is 1/32" per one inch of belt span between pulleys under 25 pounds of AQ0pYD.
