![]() ![]() ![]() The tensioner is located right here, and it actually has a square hole in the middle of it. You just have to unbolt that bracket and let it hang free. We'll just fast-forward as we take that out. You want to remove the belt fully, so you'll need to remove this bracket here with a 13mm socket. With those removed, just pull the coolant tank up and out and just put it to the back out of the way. To start, there are two 10mm nuts that hold the coolant overflow tank, and we'll remove those. You'll need 10mm and13mm sockets, a ratchet, a 3/8 drive, and either a breaker bar or a ratchet handle with a pipe for some extra leverage. In this video, we're going to show you how to remove and reinstall a serpentine belt on this 2006 Chevy Impala. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and the next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of. That the belt didn't rub at all! I will post link to this question and answers so members can see what I mean.Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. Well the member ended up getting a shorter belt which is DAYCO 5060423 he and another member said it worked! They both said it was so close I guess between the ten. Ago price) or if any one knew if he could put a shorter belt on one member put the diagram im posting here of the normal belt diagram w/ac in bottom right alt. Ok there was a post on here and it is 9 yrs old a member asked if anyone knew if he could bypass his AC clutch pully on a 2004 Saturn Vue because clutch froze up on him and he didn't have $700 (9 yrs. I know this thread is old but can some one please put a diagram or pic of how it looks when belt is bypassed? I also want to note that with the 42 inch belt, we were able to route the belt under the tensioner, which insures the alternator pulley spins properly. And after taxes it was only like $16.45 (your taxes may be different). ![]() I will say though, that I got a standard Duralast 42 inch, 6 ribbed belt. I believe I still have the packaging and will give the part number, if I can find it or the receipt later(It is 4:00 am here and I do not want to wake up anyone else looking for them right now). We did end up using a 42 inch belt, as it was mentioned here earlier. Needless to say I was back on the road an hour after he got there (We had to make two trips to Autozone because we got too short of a belt the first time). Another mechanic I was talking had came up with the same idea and called me about it as I was reading this thread. I could not find any information about a bypass pulley for the Saturn Vue on the internet but in looking for it, I came across this thread. I tried for three more weeks to get someone out to my house to fix it at a price I could afford until a mechanic suggested I use a bypass pulley. I lost my job due to not being able to get to work so I could not afford to get it done there (did not even make $700.00 on my last check). It snapped the practically new belt that was in the system and it was going to cost me $700.00 to get a new compressor put on at the mechanics shop I went to. My AC compressor had been noisy since the day I got it in January, and it finally locked up on me in the middle of June. I do not know how old this thread is but I want to thank everyone here for the idea of putting on a shorter belt to bypass the AC compressor pulley. ![]()
