Serpentine Belt Tool

[mrlegoman]

I've read through all the serpentine belt topics but still cannot find exactly what type of tool to get.
Do I just look for a serpentine belt wrench in a 14mm?

14m socket and long ratchet (or long offset 14mm box end wrench) although there are those here who do this without any tools!

I did mine using a 14 and a 3 foot (1/2 in) Breakerbar .
Worked very well.

I tryed doing it the "no tools" method, but with no luck. I was not sure if you could use a regular 14 or if it had to be some special wiz-dandy serpentine 14.
Thanks!!

I just did mine last week, "piece of cake" with a 24 inch torque wrench to move the tensioning wheel. I would recommend having someone to help do the job. That way one can hold the tensioning wheel, while the other person gets the belt on the other wheels.

The only belt that AutoZone carries is the 6PK2275.
I could not get this belt to fit. Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I need to adjust to get the 2275 to fit?

This may or may not be of any help...




Also, did you hold the two (new & old) belts toghther & compare them for length ?

Just a couple of possibilities.
