Thanks!

[@tifinymiller77]

Best video explanation I've ever seen ty have to go do this now

[@stevebeachkeenscrub62]

i want to thank you for the instruction,,, it saved me alot of money

[@dustyabsher4516]

Do you have to take both belts off or can you just do the bottom one?

[@BenjamIncredible]

Funny how at 3:12 he skips over removal of the laft bolt behind the idler arm. I came on here to see how people are getting that one out and of course it's skipped on this video. looks like the replacement goes back in easy with the side impact tool. Guess i'm back to trying different socket extensions until I find the right combo.....

[@christopherholtjr4892]

nice video just did this exact same job on my 03 escalade. only question i have is why when i push my ac button that it blows heat. so for some reason the tensioner is engaged right as i turn the blower on. why is this? I just did the same thing you did in this video on my vehicle

[@Arrsiix]

And a shop wants to charge how much in labor for this little job? Sheeeesh! Thanks for the video, that was easy. 🤘

[@cartergarrity7323]

These tensioners fail often, dealship we just remove the tensioner and use a stretch fit belt for a 2010 camaro compressor and it goes straight from the compressed to the crankshaft

[@robertpapps3618]

Excellent, thanks much!

[@seekingGODs-YHWHsTruth144K]

Did you guys replace the tension pulley for a specific reason or just as a precaution

[@tonyy33055]

[@gonzalezfamily5664]

How come you didn’t show how to take off both bolts off

[@austinedmonds1026]

Ac belt was broke so there was none

[@rayj1258]

Is it possible to do it from the bottom

[@rayj1258]

My fault didn’t see the whole video

[@MonicaRuiz5507]

Yes but u still have to remove the tension belt on top first..then go under and replace AC belt. Then go back on top put tension belt back on and then tighten up everything put it all back together! And your done!

[@yungstarjc4094]

Somebody gift me a torque wrench because I always skip that step 😭
