For those who have the Aerogenics engine & subframe lowering kit, you need to remove the passenger side spacer and raise the engine back up. Impossible to install the belt without doing so! Like putting a round peg on a square hole.

Great tip . Thanks so much for that info 😎🔥🙏

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

does that hold true for the HRG as well

[@everythingphil9376]

@@HotRod-wv4vm I'm not experienced with HRG, but I would think it will be the same since they are both altering the height of the engine, thus altering the geometry of the belt.

Thanks so much for this tutorial video, very helpful. Before putting the belt back on, does the pully or tensioner need to be in a certain position? Also, can you put the belt back on without the Special Tool you got from Autozone? Thanks in advance.

When do you need to replace the belt tensioner?

[@Element_lifestyle]

Few time I replaced in elements when the bearing in the pulley is noisy or the tensioner vibrates causing a noise too

[@motoGarry]

Very helpful video ! Thanks !

[@Element_lifestyle]

Im glad it helps.

Hey the last bolt 12mm on the center is that bolt to adjust the tension strength

[@Element_lifestyle]

Hi, the old tensioner had a 14mm bolt on the pulley, which I used a wrench to free the belt. The new tensioner came with a 15mm, I used the especial tensioner tool to install the Belt back.

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

This is the best option in my opinion: Belt tensioner from AC delco: amzn.to/3LEnsR9 Serpentine Belt: amzn.to/46v1oQL

Some people just like to make it complicated by saying a bunch of bullshit
