I am trying to replace my drive belt on the car because I beleive its starting to squeal and appears to be worn down. I bought one already but I was wondering if anyone could tell me the easiest way to install because the car doesnt appear to have a self tensioner. Any help would be much appreciated

We have a thread about this topic on the 1st page.

You have a tensioner that will accept a 3/8" drive, of which you insert and push down on (clock wise). This will allow you to remove/install a belt.

Maybe I am blind but this is the only thread on the first page that I see about a drive belt. Does the tensioner have to come off?

The tensioner stays on the vehicle The thread posted above should help out.

Not a problem Once you install it once, you'll be able to do it in under a minute the rest of the times. Pretty simple design to it

Yea seems very simple with all those good directions. Shouldnt be difficult at all. I just hope that stops the squealing I have under the hood
