@abdodaw3915 so there's not a way to get belt off from top of car?

[@paullafay4730]

There is but it's a huge pain in the ass I did it I would never ever do it again it's a huge problem

I'm about to change the Serpentine belt, water pump belt and Tensioner. Would you know the torque specs of the hex head bolts of the Tensioner?

Are you doing this from under the car or the top? I can’t get the belt back on is it better to go underneath the car?

[@Eat_My_Damn_Chicken]

I'm no mechanic but I do know the basic anatomy of a car... this video seems to be done from under the car so if you can't do it from the top it's probably your best bet to go under and if you were already able to get it out well you shouldn't have to raise anything... just make sure the car isn't going anywhere when you're under it

did you have to remove the engine mount from that side of the engine to get access or no?
