2006 Chevrolet Equinox Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the drive belt on 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: Start replacement of the Drive Belt by removing the air cleaner assembly. You can use the serpentine belt tensioner unloader (J 39914) to twist the Drive Belt tensioner to free the Drive Belt tension so you can remove it from the right idler pulley. The spring tension from the tensioner will become manageable after releasing its grip which allows you to extract the tool from the compartment. A floor jack and wood block can be used to support the engine front if vehicle liftering is not required. Place the engine Oil Pan between jack lift point and block to raise the floor jack until it supports the engine weight. The engine support fixture (J40253-B) should be used to support the engine when further work requires vehicle elevation. The right Engine Mount and the remaining Drive Belt need to be taken out from the pulleys. The Drive Belt installation begins by setting it on all pulleys except the right idler pulley followed by right Engine Mount reinstallation. Remove the support tool after using floor jack or engine support fixture according to chosen method. The serpentine belt tensioner unloader (J 39914) provides tensioner rotation for installing the Drive Belt onto the right idler pulley. You can then remove the tool from the tensioner after allowing it to touch the Drive Belt and reach its proper position. The Drive Belt needs final inspection to check center alignment at all pulleys (1-8) before restoring the air cleaner assembly.
