Installation Guide

  1. Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent accidental starts.
  2. Locate Tensioner: Find the automatic belt tensioner on the front of the engine.
  3. Release Tension: Using a ratchet or serpentine belt tool, rotate the tensioner to release the tension on the belt.
  4. Remove Belt: Carefully slip the serpentine belt off the idler pulley.
  5. Remove Old Pulley: Unbolt and remove the old idler pulley from its mounting bracket. Note the orientation of any washers or spacers.
  6. Install New Pulley: Position the new idler pulley and tighten the mounting bolt to the manufacturer’s recommended torque specification.
  7. Re-route Belt: Route the serpentine belt back onto all pulleys, following the correct diagram for your engine.
  8. Apply Tension: Slowly release the belt tensioner to apply tension to the belt.
  9. Final Check: Reconnect the battery. Start the engine and listen for unusual noises and visually inspect the belt and pulley for proper alignment and operation.
