2005 Chevrolet SSR Drive Belt Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the air conditioning drive belt on 2005 Chevrolet SSR?

  A: Starting the air conditioning Drive Belt replacement requires complete removal of the accessory Drive Belt. Use a ratchet inside the a/c belt tensioner adapter hole to rotate the tensioner clockwise until the belt tension decreases then take off the a/c belt from the pulleys by carefully letting go of belt tension on the tensioner before removing the tool. The installer should clean each pulley belt surface while performing the inspection. Start by positioning the a/c belt around the crankshaft balancer and follow by inserting a ratchet into the a/c Drive Belt tensioner adapter opening and using clockwise rotation to eliminate belt tension. Install the a/c belt by positioning it at the idler pulley followed by the a/c compressor pulley before you slowly let go of the tension on the a/c belt tensioner then unfasten the ratchet. An inspection of the a/c belt installation must be done to validate its correct positioning before putting on the accessory Drive Belt.
