• Q: How to replace the drive belt on 2008 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: The first step in Drive Belt replacement involves removing the air cleaner assembly. The j 39914 serpentine belt tensioner unloader allows you to spin the Drive Belt tensioner which lets you loosen Drive Belt tension to extract it from right idler pulley. Time to make the j 39914 tensioner spring tension neutral before taking it off from the Drive Belt tensioner. Engine front support during work without vehicle elevation requires placing a floor jack with wood block between lift point and engine Oil Pan so that the block bears the engine weight. Vehicle engine lift procedures require the usage of engine support fixture (J45703-B) to provide engine support. Move on to remove the right Engine Mount together with the Drive Belt from the pulleys which remain. The Drive Belt installation process starts by placing it on all the pulleys except the right idler pulley after which the right Engine Mount can be reinstalled. Engine support operations require either dismantling of the floor jack or removing the engine support fixture depending on the selected method of support. The j 39914 tool needs to be used to adjust the Drive Belt tensioner toward the opposite direction from the belt before placing it on the right idler pulley. Move the j 39914 from the tensioner and permit it to grasp the Drive Belt before removing the j 39914 manually. And lastly you must check that the Drive Belt lies correctly on all pulleys (1-8) before reinstalling the air cleaner assembly.
