Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you have to replace the serpentine belt on this 2002 Chevy Suburban with the 5.3 liter V8 engine and the 130 amp alternator. The items you'll need for this are a new serpentine belt from 1AAuto.com, a 10 and 15mm socket and ratchet and a flat blade screwdriver.
Start off by loosening these two hose clamps, using a flat blade screwdriver. We'll just fast forward as Don does this. Now, just pry this clip out and then pull the hose back. You may need a flat blade screwdriver to help you pry it free. Then, pull forward and lift it up and out.
Next, remove these two 10 millimeter bolts. We'll fast forward as Don does that. Then, pry the clip on this hose out of the fan shroud. Then, remove these four clips around your shroud. To remove these clips, you just pry up the center and then pull the clip out. We will fast forward as Don does this to the other three. Now, just pull that hose back and lift the shroud straight up and out.
Right here is your tensioner. Just put the 15 millimeter socket and ratchet on it and push down on the ratchet. This will release the tension on the belt and you can pull the belt from the pulleys. You want to just reach down and pull it off all the pulleys and the belt will be free and you can just pull it up and out.
Now, located on the front of your truck, you will see this serpentine belt diagram. You want to follow this when you're putting your belt back on. Really, it's hard to show us doing it. So, you're going to have to refer to that but it's pretty simple to follow. Everything is where it needs to be. You can see he starts with the lower pulleys. He just starts feeding the belt down around each of them, following that diagram. We'll fast forward as he does the majority of this. Once you've got it on all but one pulley, push back down on the tensioner and double check. Make sure your belt's on all the pulleys properly and not just half on some of them. Then just get it in to position and then carefully release the tension on the tensioner and pull the ratchet free.
Now to replace the shroud, just push it back down in to place and then replace those four clips. Just push them back down in to place and push the center down to lock them. Push the hose back in to place and then replace those two 10 millimeter bolts.
Take the air intake hose and push it back down in to place on to the air intake box and then on to the engine. Then just tighten up those two hose clamps and just re-clip that hose to the air intake hose and you're all set.
