I’ve watched several videos on how to get this done. This was the ONLY video that actually showed “how to” get the belt to go on by lifting the actual tensioner up. I thank you sir. My Jeep is back on the road and I didn’t have to pay a mechanic to say the least. Very much appreciated!

Thank you Gentlemen from Australia. You saved me shelling out $100 to a mechanic. FYI, this is the same procedure and routing for a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sports 3.7L. I found this video from the routing diagram on the thumbnail.

+lezzman Thank you for watching, and the compliments. We're glad that you were able to save money by watching our video! 1aauto.com

[@ilovecornell]

Better then the other videos I’ve seen but I wish there was a close up of how to get the belt back on step by step with each pulley. I’m a woman, what can I say. I need up close and clear instructions, I’m a novice. Best video I’ve seen yet though, thank you.

+A Darens Thank you for your feedback!

[@bgch8810]

Do you know or are aware of the lbs. per feet of torque for the nut on the tensioner assembly and not the pulley?

[@jaribalberto6905]

Saved me a trip to the mechanic too. You wouldn't happen to have or be planning the demo of a transmission solenoid replacement soon would you? Thanks again!

Jeep Liberty 3.7-liter PowerTech V-6 Timing Chain Set video would have been nice too!

[@joleenherradura9269]

Great video! I have used this video to change my serpentine belt about year ago and it went well. Just a week ago I started hearing a sort of screeching noise. It was subtle and has gotten a little louder. I have heard cars on the road with this same sound but alot loud er than mine. I'm thinking it may have something to do with the belt or the wheels they rest on. My question is how can I diagnose the belt and wheels to know they are bad or not? Thanks!

[@1AAuto]

You may want to check the belt to see if there are any cracks or it could be the belt tensioner going bad.

[@angelopranno1111]

Buona sera, ho questo tipo di auto. Vorrei chiedere se per cambiare la cinghia dei servizi, bisogna rimuovere la ventola, oppure no.

[@jtslick89]

Saved my life at work, idler pulley seized and belt fell off

[@AlexDYC]

I have done this step by step and the engine wont turn over now, but it will turn and run perfectly without the belt. What did I do wrong?

[@thomasbergman442]

2008 to 2012 the Liberty changed into the Second Generation. They are different than the First Generation, which you are showing here.

[@krappy4404]

Do you guys know the pitch and lenght of the screw that goes in the middle of the tensioner?

[@milamilos433]

I went to Walmart for oil change and 1hour after driving after service there my steering wheel is like locked. I think it's serpentine belt idler blown off. Is it possible that while changing my oil or air filter they broke or did something on this part or this sistem? How much is the estimate thT THIS WILL COST ME TO FIX at mechanic? Thank you!

[@ronnieparker8301]

Got a question for y'all got a 92 Ford truck XLT 4.9 run for 10 min flip the switch and it cranks back up but a little rough trying to clear up

[@1AAuto]

+Ronnie Parker We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@slyfoxx2973]

Thanks for the vid. Saved my day.

[@johnschreiber5163]

Why do you recomment replacing the tensioner wheel.

[@fenkellfresh2558]

Anyone else having tensioner problems? I know your supposed to crank to the right or clockwise but when the bolt is as tight as it gets my belt doesn’t loosen

[@bgch8810]

Are you using a breaker bar? Be sure to also use the proper socket size and type . ... hope this helps

[@tomcraftdonkey2285]

I was having that problem with the new tensioner I ordered, so I will send it back for a new one.

[@jasonholbrook8845]

Best site thank you

[@job38four10]

[@therealcrazyo360]

yeah but I got question do I have to remove coolant tank dodge nitro..2007

[@AntonioGuevara0628]

[@jmemixx]

My idler pulley is screeching and moving for some reason. I thought it was something else

[@FishyBoi1337]

Thanks bruv

[@josephkohlerjr.8407]

Ugh.. my belt tensioner pulley literally just melted on my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.7... had to get towed to a shop.. we will see.. I could've fixed this myself.

[@1AAuto]

+Joseph Kohler Jr. Best of luck with your repair!

[@Gus10101]

This same thing just happened to me yesterday, we were driving and when I checked the engine it melted! Luckily I was able to buy the part from an autoparts store nearby and replaced it for my old mans Jeep on the fly along with the belt. I can't believe this part is made of plastic instead of aluminum! even 1aauto sells it in plastic, unless you guys can reply a part number for a metal version I'd be happy to replace it.
