What are named the serpentine drivebelts are a single belt located at the front of the engine a single belt that are needed for the operation of the alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air conditioning compressor and should be inspected in regular intervals due to its high wear factor. To examine the belt remove the hood and with fingers or by using a flashlight search for cracks, separation, fraying, or glazing on one or the other side of the belt while twisting it. The underside ribs should be of equal thickness, while the tension is held by non-adjustable tensioner assembly that requires inspection at the set mileage; if there are signs of damage, replace it. The tensioner must be rotated counter-clockwise using a breaker bar in order to decrease the tension within the belt; after this, the belt is to be removed from over pulleys and then a new belt placed over the pulleys before it is positioned well before the tensioner can be released. The water pump drivebelt is to the left side of the engine front cylinder bank intake camshaft pulley The water pump cover is half seen without removal as it is held in place by two nuts and a bolt. To replace it, pull the cover up and back to remove it, then turn the tensioner clockwise to counter-clockwise to release tension and, thus, take the belt off; put the new belt in its place over the pulleys and then place the cover back onto its position while tightening it. For tensioner replacement, initially, disconnect the drivebelt and then relocate the tensioner by unbolting the central bolt of the tensioner and reconnect it by the same process opposite tightening the bolt in the right manner. The water pump drivebelt tensioner is fixed by two stud bolts which need to be slackened for removal and tightened in the reverse order as the bolts are Torqued appropriately.
