Hey guys
 
So I've used this forum for a couple of great mods ect for my own car, so I thought I'd do my first write up on how to do a drivebelt for those wanting to replace their own. Tools needed 638601269b009436d8047b854322487a.jpg
 
 
Step 1
Purchase the correct parts
 
1x drive belt. (I prefer dayco for longevity/I'll also recommend Gates)

Step 2
Remove 2x 10mm bolts holding the twin factory fans in front of radiator located just below the radiator support brackets.

Step 3
 
Carefully disconnect the plug that is use to power the fans and move it to the side. to remove the fans u need to 1 side at a time.

Step 4
 
Draw a diagram or take a photo of the belt configuration on each pulley. e9bb2f18920871b45b46bb7c731733a4.jpg
 
Step 5
 
Use a 3/8 breaker bar or ratchet and rotate the tension pulley, to the passenger side of the vehicle, and remove the belt then use a 10 mm socket to undo the tensioner, mount the new tensioner and tighten 436849a8f26c91e06a7c7ad840dad388.jpg
fit the belt as the diagram shows, put your radiator fans back in with the 2x 10mm bolts and your done.
 
As you can see my belts seen better days. 1ef76165eda0ed530fe30559f188476e.jpg (I personally like to use some loctite) d1963f1520dc96f565aeb76e598e882d.jpg
