99 cherokee serp. belt?

I need to change the sepentine belt on my 99 cherokee. The diagram points to a pully just below the power steering pump as belt removal. Is this the tensioner? And how do i use it to remove and replace the belt. Thanks!99 cherokee serp. belt?You need to loosen the bolt on the front of the pulley a couple turns (locks the pulley in place) and then there should be a bolt just above and behind it that provides for tension. Draw the routing out on a piece of paper if its not shown under the hood somewhere. Sometimes its not obvious how the routing should be. The new belt will be quite a bit tighter than the old so you may need to loosen the tensioning bolt more to accommodate the new.99 cherokee serp. belt?Yes, loosen that pulley its right below the power steering pump99 cherokee serp. belt?I use the Mechanic.....

I grab it by the neck ,squeeze and twist99 cherokee serp. belt?That is correct. I have a 01 Cherokee and that sounds right.99 cherokee serp. belt?If I remember correctly you will need a 5/8%26quot; socket change your belt. The only thing you need to turn is the bolt on top of the pulley bracket, this will cause the pulley to raise (tighten) or lower (loosen).



You do not loosen the bolt in the center of the pulley it is independent of the tensioner and will not help in anyway.
