Title: Changing the Serpentine Belt on an 01 TJ
Post by: 01amberfirewv on June 26, 2008, 07:33:05 AM

I need to change the Serpentine Belt on my TJ (at least 60,000 on the current one) and the idler pully doesnt seem to move.  Is it spring loaded or do I just losen the bolt and move the pulley?

You should be able to just loosen the bolt enough to pull the belt off..... :thumb:

Not sure when Jeep changed, (thinking 04 or so), but check behind and underneath the ps pump. The bracket holding the pump will have a bolt underneath it that is in a channel and a long adjustable bolt on the back. You loosen both and work the adjustable to pull/draw the pump to tighten/loosen the belt.
