2004 2.2 eco Serpentine belt and tensioner replacement
Monday, January 12, 2015 6:01 PM
My serpentine belt squealed and when I looked at it it seems to be wobbling a bit. I bought a new belt and while I'm at it im going to do the tensioner as well.

The belt seems straight forward enough. I'm going to take the passenger side wheel and splash guards off and get to it that way. My question is the tensioner. Do I need to take a motor mount off? What does that involve?

I honestly can't remember what the stock setup looks like but I know most of the time it's just a matter of pulling that upper mount with a floor jack under the motor to move it up or down. That'll give you access to the bolt that holes the tensioner in if you can't reach it as it is. Don't be discouraged that upper mount comes off really easy. Five15mm bolts and a little finagling around the AC line and she's out.

He's talking about the serpentine belt not the timing chain.
