Does anyone have any info/pictures on changing the drive belts (not the timing belt). I am trying to locate where to take the tension off to remove the old ones and install the new ones. Thanks.

If you look at the tensioner bracket... you'll see a "nut" that's molded onto the bracket... you put the socket on that & w/the breaker bar you'll be able to leverage off the tension. http://www.newcelica.org/photopost/uploads/2461/loosen_tensioner.JPG Go with a Goodyear Gatorback belt jkon 04-20-2007, 05:08 AM Thank you very much. Will proceed this weekend. 2way 04-20-2007, 08:46 PM 19mm socket... preferrably six sided... I just pulled mine off tonight... was gonna change it... but, its in good shape. Definitely go with a Gatorback belt... especially if you have the typical squealing problem. Gatorback puts an end to it. The one I just inspected has around 50K on it... looks fine & still no squealing:) | |
