Right got my belts nice n quicky from Jimmy\'s...so on they go this Saturday... i\'m clearing the garage in preperation hehe (say garage its more like a junk pit)

ANYWAY... when putting the belts on do I need to lube them with anything or are they ok just to go right on as I planned?

thanks! :p

sorry for bumpin up a old thread

 but my belt has a slight rip on it, the belts form jimmys is that a new price or second?

also do you have to do anything to the belt prior to putting it on ?!

any step by step guides to change this or is it a fairly simple job ?


thanks

Hey shaq

Yeah get new ones.. don\'t get 2nd hand. They should be replaced every x miles anyway afaik

This was a few months ago now so if i\'m wrong with anything please correct me someone... As I remember, no you don\'t have to put anything on it like greese or anything, the belts are coated with grip stuff that clings to the pullys so I don\'t think lube or any sorts would do any good *ooer* :p

It\'s a real simple job, it\'s just a crapper, they are not the easiest things to get off/on.

You have to undone the TENSIONER not any of the pullys to get the belts off.

Once you\'ve done that, best to have someone with ya holding the pullys to get a bit of slack on them. The air pump one I found much easier to get off them the other but with a bit of perseverance you\'ll get them in the end. Just don\'t expect a walk in the park with it hehe. Here\'s a pic of the tensioner that you need to undo and redo...that lil black arm near the alternator



gonna be doing my plugs n ht leads today so if ya need any help i\'m around
