2007 Chevrolet Equinox Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the drive belt on 2007 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: The air cleaner assembly becomes the first step toward Drive Belt replacement. The serpentine belt tensioner unloader (J 39914) will enable you to rotate the Drive Belt tensioner to unlock Drive Belt tension before removing the right idler pulley belt. The serpentine belt tensioner unloader (J 39914) should be carefully released for relief of tensioner spring tension while it is taken off from the Drive Belt tensioner . Before lifting the vehicle for more tasks ensure the engine front is supported either by a wood block or floor jack which should be placed between the jack lift point and Oil Pan base. Before separating the Drive Belt from the remaining pulleys the right Engine Mount needs to be removed along with support from the engine support fixture (J43747-B) during vehicle lifting operations. The installation requires positioning the Drive Belt onto every pulley except the right idler pulley followed by right Engine Mount reinstallation. The choice to remove floor jack support requires removing it from under the Oil Pan yet taking away the engine support fixture (J43747-B) serves as an alternative method of engine support. Set serpentine belt tensioner unloader (J 39914) to turn Drive Belt tensioner away from the belt before positioning the Drive Belt onto the right idler pulley and gradually letting go of the tensioner to contact the Drive Belt. Finish the procedure by taking the serpentine belt tensioner unloader (J 39914) off the Drive Belt tensioner to check the Drive Belt position before installing the air cleaner assembly.
