Auxillary belt
« on: 20 December 2016, 13:25:54 »
Hi all...
Simple question...how the heck do you get a new belt over the tensioner pulley. New belt has same numbers as old PK2020. I am using a long breaker bar, but I get the bar right over so it stops at the plastic thing attached to the side of the throttle body, and it still won't go on. Should it be this hard !!!! Do I have to take the throttle body off. Is there a sequence to fit the belt.
HELP....yes I am shouting :y ;D
Engine is 2.6

You don't.
Thread it round all of the ribbed pulleys, and slip it over the smooth water pump pulley. There's plenty of give in the tensioner to do that

Nick, mate, are you saying the smooth face of the water pump pulley is the last to slip it on to. So all the ribbed pulleys includes the tensioner. I have been trying to get it over the tensioner :y
I assume you don't torque the tensioner nut, as I get it tight until the pulley moves.

OOOOh Nick....you are hurtful, and its Christmas...but I like you !!

It just shows how a simple job can be made awkward by me, and a simple ' Right, lets think this out' can solve the problem. Thats why this forum is the best
