I changed the water pump and took off the belt ok and now am having difficulty installing the belt again. Can you provide a step by step on how to put the belt back on? The more details the better.
How do you install the serpentine belt on a 1995 Chevy barreta 2.2l engine?
If you look on the engine there will be a belt tensioner pulley that is smaller than the other pulleys. this is spring loaded and adjusts by use of a 3/8%26quot; ratchet. you line up the new belt and release the tension on the pulley, and then install belt around the pulleys and then let the tension come back by letting the tensioner %26quot;go%26quot;. the spring loaded action should give your belt the proper amount of tension. Hope this helps
How do you install the serpentine belt on a 1995 Chevy barreta 2.2l engine?
there should be a sticker around the top of the radiator area(under the hood) showing the belt configuation
There should be a picture under the hood of how the belt should look on the pulleys
usually in a small car like that all you have to do is push down on the pulley
There is usually a diagram under the hood of the car. Usually on the radiator cover or the strut mounts.Get the belt on the bottom ,or lowest pulleys first. Then keeping tention on the belt feed it on to the next pully up. If the pulley has grooves then of course thats the part the ribbed side of the belt should touch. Smoo is the back side of the belt. look for a diagram that looks like the one on this web site.
