How to Replace a Drive Belt on Cadillac XLR?

The first step of drive belt replacement demands installation of a 1/2 inch drive breaker bar into the belt drive tensioner followed by pushing down to reduce tension. The tensioner pulley drive belt should be removed before gently returning the tensioner to its initial position. After supporting the car you can take off the belt. The installation process requires passing the drive belt through each pulley except the drive belt tensioner pulley before lowering the vehicle to its final position. A 1/2 inch drive breaker bar should enter the drive belt tensioner to apply downward force on the tensioner before threading the belt around the tensioner pulley. After tensioning the belt proceed with full belting routing while making sure the belt takes its proper position in each of the pulleys. Use a gradual movement to return the tensioner until you restore its initial position for applying drive belt tension. The inspection process begins by checking the belt route and alignment before starting the engine to verify proper operating condition of accessories and belt function.
