14mm Socket
1/2 Inch Breaker Bar
To remove your drive belt, you need to place a 14mm socket with a breaker bar on the auto tensioner to relieve the tension. Take a 14mm socket and a breaker bar, put it down in here. Place it over the auto tensioner. Pull to the rear of the car to relieve the tension on the belt. It's got significant tension on it. Feed it off the top pulley. Release the tension on it so we can take the breaker bar out. Got to guide the belt off of the pulleys.
Feed the drive belt around the crank pulley, making sure it's seated in the grooves, over and around the A/C compressor pulley. It's easier to route it up into the alternator pulley and pull it over the idler pulley so the smooth side is on the idler pulley. Feed the rest of the belt up to the power steering pulley, then use your breaker bar with 14mm socket to unload the tensioner by pushing to the rear of the vehicle and slide the belt onto the power steering pulley.
