Default Drive belt 3.3 - 03-31-2007 , 04:32 PM






2002 T & C, 3.3.

I just replaced the water pump and installed a new belt tensioner. I am
having a problem getting the new belt on.
The new tenioner (OEM Part) does not have a slot for a wrench on the
front side to release the tension like the original . It has a spot for a
1/2 inch breaker bar however the bar won't fit between the frame and unit.
Is there a tool made just for this? Any one have another method?
Thanks,

Hmmm. I just did the one on my 1993 last week. Used my 3/8" breaker
bar with a 15mm socket on the nut in the center of the pulley. I hope
that was the correct way. It seemed to work okay, and I couldn't see
any other way to do it.
