How can I check my belt tensioner bearings?
Check the tensioner and idler pulley bearings by removing the belt and spinning the pulleys by hand. All pulleys should turn freely with no binding, roughness or wobble. Any binding, roughness or wobble means these parts are bad and need to be replaced.
What does the pulley on a belt tensioner do?
The pulley is what allows the movement of the drive belt. The spring keeps the drive belt in its correct tension. The tensioner arm is a mechanism that allows for the adjustment or the removal of the drive belt. It delivers enough slack on the drive belt for easier adjustments. The base is what holds all the different parts together.
How often should a belt tensioner be replaced?
Typically automobile experts advise a serpentine belt replacement or even a serpentine belt tensioner replacement once every three or four years, or after every 36,000 to 48,000 miles. This helps guard against unexpected belt failure which can leave you stranded and severely damage other engine components.
Do I need to replace the belt tensioner?
- some front wheel drive vehicles need to have the engine supported before tensioner removal.
- remove engine mount retainer nuts.
- the engine will become loose during this step.
- Once all mounting bolts and nuts have been removed the engine mount can be removed.
How do you remove a tensioner pulley?
Hold the tension from the belt, and slip the belt off the auto tensioner pulley to remove the belt and pulley system. Slowly release the tension to avoid damage or injury, and then remove the tool from the belt auto tensioner.
Is my belt tensioner bad?
A bad belt tensioner is a likely cause of belt damage. However, if your belt is old and has not been replaced in several years, it might just be normal wear and tear. Push down on the middle of the belt while the engine is off and the components are cool enough to touch.
Is the belt on the right pulley on a lawn mower?
Even with the bolt on the idler arm loose you still have to work to get the belt on the right pulley. Once on the pump pulleys you have enough slack in the idler pulley to feed the belt around it and the engine pulley. You must log in or register to reply here.
Where is the belt located on a Freelander pulley?
This is clearer to see on the previous picture (the dull hexagonal bolt just visible above and at the back of the pulley). Then all that remains it to fit the new belt. This can be a bit tight, and you may have to turn the crank pulley using the large bolt and a ratchet to get the belt located onto the pulleys.
Is there a drive belt tensioner for a 2008 Sienna?
2008 (2GR-FE) drive belt tensioner – replace pulley only? We have a 2008 Sienna with the 3.5l 2GR-FE V6, with 195,000 miles. Lately we have a chirping noise under the hood, in the area of the drive belt tensioner and the No. 2 (right) idler pulley.

What happens if there is insufficient belt tension?
Insufficient belt tension causes slippage, squealing, heat build-up, belt roll-over and premature failure. Our engineers recommend careful belt tensioning. A normal but significant reduction of installation tension of a new belt occurs as a result of belt seating.
How do you tension a timing belt pulley?
Place the timing belt on each timing belt pulley and ensure proper engagement between the timing belt pulley and timing belt teeth. Lengthen the center distance or adjust the tensioning idler to remove any timing belt slack. Using a tape measure, measure the span length of the drive in inches. Refer to dimension “P” in the diagram above.
Which is the correct way to tension a V-belt?
The meter will report the belt tension in units of force. On new installations, hand rotate the system at least one full revolution of the belt in order to seat and normalize the components. When tensioning an array of V-belts, use a single belt toward the center.
How do you tension a power transmission belt?
First determine the proper deflection force required to tension the timing belt. Deflection forces are given in the timing belt manufacturer’s tables and/or power transmission drive design online calculators. Then place a straightedge across the top of the timing belt.
