very very easy got both done in about 15 to 20 minutes.. i was on the driveway with no ramps... I had a 15mm socket 3 in extension and 15 wrench and got it done. . Thanks for the video.. I also didn't even take off the plastic shielding just cut the wheel all the way to the right...

[@alexbolish4593]

Took me an hour because the previous owner had all sorts of janky "bandaids" but it was only $40 for the belts. Thanks for the video!

[@2carpros]

Nice work!

[@gobigredcornhuskers7784]

Turn the music down. Difficult to hear what you're saying

[@2carpros]

Sorry about that. Thanks for watching!

[@legiontheatregroup]

Thanks for this video. Is the first belt you removed the one that drives the power steering pump? If so, does that belt drive any other accessories? I am trying to temporarily disable my power steering pump without stopping any other vital functions. So removing that belt is my plan. Thank you.

[@victorkeller9250]

Ok 😒.. I took both belts off my daughter's PT Cruiser.. replaced the alternator belt, the proceeded to put the serpentine belt back on to find out it shrunk from the time I took it off to the time I tried to put it back on. 😒🤨🤔.. What the Hell 🤔🤨????

[@BEE71MOPAR1]

Why after a week of putting a new belt and tension on twice my belt gets a bad squealing come from it ...I can spray silicone or rub soap on the belt and it will only go away for a few minutes

[@Tao_Peace]

Good video, wish the power steering belt instructions were slower. Also, it’s a BEAST getting that belt up there on that belt since you have to feel abs can’t really eyeball it. Also, seems like there’s a L shaped bracket of some sort up there that keep that belt from slipping off the pulley I imagine? Other than that, good video

[@TheDunestrider]

What is it with DIY video producers that feel that they need a musical soundtrack?!?!?

[@2carpros]

People complain with it then they complain without it. Kinda no winning. Thanks for watching anyways though!

[@Adhdz89]

Thank you for this video. Many other videos make it harder and longer to remove the belts. Thank you for the quick and easy method.

[@2carpros]

Awesome! Love to help! Thanks for watching!

[@MomelaninX]

what is the name of the first belt or what is the 1st serpintine belt fpr cause thats the one I need

[@juancarlospinolopez756]

Hi I would like to know the measurement of the belts, I am from Peru to be able to buy similar ones here

[@lucillebattle3754]

About how much does all this cost

[@littleandres09]

What would be the average cost to have a timing belt replaced at a shop?

[@2carpros]

+littleandres09 Thank you for your inquiry, if we're talking about the same car as in the video the cost is somewhere between $300 to $350. If you haven't already please subscribe.

[@wolfgreen162]

worked like a charm after I figured out that I was positioning the first belt the wrong way.

[@2carpros]

Good to hear please like us on FB and subscribe to our channel.

[@jakenew3913]

Maybe thats what im doing. What did you do to get it on?

[@dannywoolfe3378]

I didn't even unbolt the alternator i just cranked the engine and used a flathead screwdriver and sliped off the old and on the new.

[@2carpros]

We have seen some KZbin videos of people doing this. And Its a pretty cool trick but we DO NOT recommend it because of how dangerous it is.

[@dannywoolfe3378]

2CarPros I didn't crank the engine with the key, i used a ratchet and a socket to manually crank the engine. I think you misunderstood

[@2carpros]

O cool trick! I saw a video of someone doing it running... Crazy people.

[@dannywoolfe3378]

2CarPros Noo. I would never do that haha

[@yungrock59]

@@dannywoolfe3378 do you have a video of it? sounds alot smoother

[@lilkaylasbeauty]

My pt cruiser squeals when I turn it on & sometimes when driving it’s a bitch driving by people & everyone says it’s my belts but how much do they cost? And is it just my belts??

[@2carpros]

Belts aren't very expensive. An old belt can squeal very loudly. Thanks for watching!

[@anonimojuarbe1070]

You put two belt that mean that went I put the belt I have to chenge both belt

[@krzysztof_tactix]

Please show the replaceable DOHC multi-ribbed belt tensioner 2.0

[@lucillebattle3754]

About how much does all this cost

[@2carpros]

For the belt? Like 20 bucks. But to pay someone its much more. Thanks for watching!

[@C3lt1cbl00d]

Hello Thanks a lot at first for this AWESOME video who will help me tomorrow a lot because today my serpentine belt has something her degraded. PLEASE can you with one link or a picture , better show me WHERE are the 2 bolts to light unscrewing ? Because i m not sure about the right position from what you explain Thanks a lot in forward ( From FRANCE ) if it s possible.

[@2carpros]

+Blood Celtic I'm sorry this is all we have on this video

[@FlatoutDodge]

Why do you loosen the alternator mounting bolts? Shouldn't just loosening the adjustment bolt let you get the belt off? And when putting the belt back on the alternator, why would you use the adjustment bolt before tightening the mounting bolts?

[@chawkie10]

Because you can't adjust it with the 2 bolts tight there Einstein!

[@carlosbeats972]

Do you tighten the alternator adjustment bolt back to where it was or ???

[@MickeyMishra]

one day I have to find out why my serpentine belt is so tight and why it squeaks

[@lukasky_dj]

It could be the ac bearing . Or tensioner bearing

[@MickeyMishra]

@@lukasky_dj I have replaced both with new. One day? I'm just going to save up about 20,000 dollars and take it to the Wizard or the dude up in Canada that talks funny and loves PT cruisers. I think his name is Matt.

[@jasonlunstrum9599]

someone tell me why after loosening both the alternator bolts that belt is still tight as it was before....

[@randomsecrets]

Because after you loosen the alternator bolts, you have to run the 13mm adjustment bolt out for the alternator to move and give you some slack. The other 2 bolts are to lock it in place after adjustment

[@kingkilla421]

i have a high output alt on my pt cruiser and the dam shop put a belt that was to big on, so i get belt slip when the alt is under high load.. I was going to go to a shop to get a smaller belt put on but i think i can do it my self now..

[@2carpros]

nice!, its always fun if you can do the job yourself

[@allancowie772]

ben h gvv s Steam engine

[@Flipz10]

What's the point of a tutorial with out measurements for tension on the installed belt. you go through the importance of it not being too tight or too loose on the alternator and move right on.

[@2carpros]

+Flipz10 not to loose as to slip on the pulley and not so tight you can play a tune on it.

[@Harms_Way_410]

how much does this cost to be repaired by a mechanic

[@2carpros]

Should be right around $60-100 but if you do it your self it will probably be around $20.

[@TheThomasG]

is there a specific torque for setting the alternator adjusting screw tightness?

[@2carpros]

+Tom G there really isn't a a torque spec, just tightening it so it doesn't slip on the pulley but not so tight it takes out the alternator bearings

[@TheThomasG]

+2CarPros I see - thanks for the response! this guide made the belt replacement going quite smoothly.

[@2carpros]

good to hear please subscribe :)

[@MrCaptainTJ]

Thanks

[@887Bingo]

Great. Now how do you get the altenator out?

[@2carpros]

+887Bingo good question, undo the upper and lower mounting bolts.

[@elliottfaure7119]

of the alternator or the engine? The alternator, right?

[@jordanjay1479]

What the torque specs on the adjusting screw

[@2carpros]

+Jordan Johnson it really doesn't have a torque spec, tighten it so the belt is tight enough not to slip on the pulleys, it will need to be rechecked after the engine has been run for awhile.

[@jordanjay1479]

2CarPros​ Thanks for the help bro

[@2carpros]

np please subscribe :)

[@jordanjay1479]

+2CarPros already did my brother

[@2carpros]

nice job my brother

[@guerraguerra3329]

Gracias

[@2carpros]

Thanks for watching!

[@shirleyservin4620]

Why would my supertine belt fall off

[@2carpros]

Either the belt is so warn it lost tension and fell off or one of the pulleys isn't lined up perfectly anymore. Thanks for watching!
