2001 GMC Safari Drive Belt Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the drive belt on 2001 GMC Safari?

  A: Begin Drive Belt replacement by taking off the air cleaner assembly together with the air cleaner outlet duct from the Throttle Body. The Drive Belt tensioner must be loosened by using a 3/8 inch drive wrench during counterclockwise rotation to take out the Drive Belt before releasing tension slowly from the tensioner arm. To install the belt follow the sequence that includes all pulleys except the tensioner arm while maintaining proper installation guidance for vehicles with and without air conditioning systems. The 3/8 inch drive wrench should be used to rotate the tensioner arm counterclockwise for Drive Belt installation onto the Drive Belt tensioner pulley followed by tension arm tension release. Check that the Drive Belt sits correctly on each pulley because any incorrect positioning of grooves must be avoided. The correct Drive Belt size and proper routing must be confirmed when checking new drive belts by verifying the fix pointer exists inside the Drive Belt tensioner indentation yet for used drive belts it must not exceed the index mark. Install the air cleaner outlet duct and air cleaner assembly as the last step.
