Replacing Serpentine belt/pulley
JimH wrote: "Mike C" wrote in message ps.com... My question is how far onto the shaft should the pulley be to get them to align? It seems there has got to be a more solid way other than eye balling it. Since there are 5 pulleys, eye-balling alignment isn't easy. basskisser wrote: Mike C wrote: I replaced the serpentine belt on my 98 2400 SCR last fall. Since they no longer make the belt, I had to buy a conversion kit which required replacing a pulley to accomodate the new belt (Sierra 18-15116). My question is how do you know how far to put the pulley on? I was told to put it on flush with the stem, but am having problems of the belt misaligning. Not sure I understand your question. But the pulley in question has to align with the other ones. The belt and the pulley should be grooved (4 or 5 grooves) and self align. With the belt in place it should be obvious if the pulley in question is not in alignment with the rest and to which direction it needs to go to be in alignment. Most manuals will tell you to use a straightedge. |
