How to replace 2014 Ford Fiesta SE 1.6L stretchy serpentine belt easy NO SPECIAL TOOLS REQUIRED

[@someguyinplace]

Great video buddy, I was about to set my fiance's fiesta on fire and the vise grips did the trick

Going to get some clamps asap and pray this works. Tried the Lisle tool no luck. Tried putting the belt in a jar of boiling water to loosen it. It's not even close nor is this belt "elastic" or stretchy whatsoever. Someone mentioned loosening the top pulley which I believe is for the alternator.

Ya as far as i know these aren't the stretch fit. This by far the quickest method an can be done within or less the 5 minutes

Great video very informative 👏

Thanks man this helped me out a lot with this POS fiesta I had to do this to.

[@geometro9769]

No problem man not really any other videos out there that show you how todo it without buying that $60 1 time fucking tool lol

Not a mechanic but handy enough to do most of my own maintenance. Daughter threw a belt on her '14 Fiesta. Fought with the belt for an hour. Called experienced techs, watched 5 or 6 vids before yours. BUT you had the most practical advice hands down. I think I made one improvement to your method. Instead of a $13 pair of 5" vice grips I used a pair of $2 1" C-clamps. One to hold the belt on the flywheel the other for the smooth pulley (which I didn't need). It took longer to get the wheel back on the car than to use your method for the belt!

[@geometro9769]

Nope same way as if you use the special tool

[@markhayes789]
