jkeaton Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Not sure anyone on here has done that. Why on earth are you replacing it? Out of warranty? If you can't get to it, it might be a shop job if you have to move the engine to get to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journey_SeXT Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 3.6L 3.6L Check condition of all pulleys. CAUTION When installing the serpentine accessory drive belt, the belt MUST be routed correctly. If not, the engine may overheat due to the water pump rotating in the wrong direction. Install new belt (7). Route the belt around all pulleys except the idler pulley (2). Rotate the tensioner arm (8) until it contacts its stop position. Route the belt (7) around the idler (2) and slowly let the tensioner (8) rotate into the belt. Make sure the belt (7) is seated onto all pulleys. With the drive belt installed, inspect the belt wear indicator. The gap between the tang and the housing stop ( measurement A ) must not exceed 24 mm (.94 inches). Install the inner splash shield.
