Thank you for the video you explained things well. I just replaced mine but since then my battery drags upon starting and I don't know but while driving I think I feel like a slip. Could this be because of the serpentine belt? The slipping also? Lol I am a 52 yr old women but im using our quote unquote joint you tube account which basically belongs to my better half. I took 2 1/2 years of auto shop in high school and proud of it. Remember now I am woman!! So he hires our "Brokechanic"playfully towards him but not really as much as he charges but everytime he gives us a good deal I me WOMAN has to go fix it then I get the silent treatment because i did it. Any advice. The belt was replaced about 2wks ago drags but still cranking. It's getting colder here in SATX..But I just replaced the battery too. I am the single proud owner of my 2001 toyota corolla le. She has never given me any major problems NONE and I'd like to keep it that way..
So long as you installed the belt correctly (I show a diagram at 0:48) then it really shouldn't be dragging while starting. The only reason that would drag on start would be from starting it while having the ac on, this puts extra strain on the starter since the ac compressor will be engaged. The couple of things I could think of is to check that the belt is installed correctly, then you could check each component the belt goes on to see if they're starting to go out (ac, starter, water pump, power steering). Also I know you just replaced the battery but I have heard of a single cell in the battery being bad, so the battery has enough juice to crank over and start but just cranks over slow/ sluggish.
Typically when they stretch they'll make a squealing noise, especially when starting the vehicle. So if you hear that belt squealing that means that either the belt has stretched or the tensioner needs to be tighter/is going out.
@@Handy-Mann oooops. I meant to correct myself. The 17mm bolt away from the belt system. I already removed the bolts from the alternator. I now have been attempting to set the belt onto the pulleys before resetting the new alternator.
@@Handy-Mann yeah we definitely got the belt on, and immediately had to take it off because we realized the water pump pulley was bad. 🤣 But this video really helped us thank you 🙂
@@Handy-Mann I had air con hard piping right in the gap so it was sure a hand bruising sort of install and a sudden surprise at completion. Your steps were spot on.
Try doing this with air conditioner system in place. I can't find youtube videos showing alternator and serp. belt R & R with air conditioning system for this car.
Sorry but not quite sure I understand your question? In this video I show a diagram that shows how the serpentine belt goes around both the alternator and the ac
@@Handy-Mann The car in the video has no air conditioning. Cars with air conditioning have components next to the alternator which make it really hard to get your hands down into where the serpentine belt is, and also make it hard to remove the alternator. I'd like to see videos that show how to do all this with the air conditioner components there.
@@supermoonrising1070 So my Corolla definitely has ac on it. Sorry that I don't show a better view of that. I'll keep that in mind for next time I do a project in that area.
@@Handy-Mann My car (which is a Chevy Prizm (same thing as a Toyota Corolla) has an accumulator mounted to the left of the alternator, which blocks access. I think we have different design cars then. Thanks for the video and the replies. Here is a video of exactly the car I'm trying to change the alternator: th-cam.com/video/N14jSk5JXn8/w-d-xo.html (04:07 in that video) (check out the accumulator mounted to the left of the alternator). I can't figure out how to reach around and under it to work on the alternator or belt very easily.
Walked outside and finished the job in literally 5 minutes. This was a nice reference.
He showed the diagram how the belt goes back on Good vid
Helpful but it'd be better if we could see how to actually replace it.
Look at the diagram?🤣
Um why didn’t you put it back on.
its pretty straight forward and plus he needed two hands to do it
thanks man thats all I need to know . u showed the diagram and that was enough with your explanation
It was helpful thanks 👍
I'm glad I could help!
Much needed, thanks! Gonna replace mine after work tomorrow for sure, my belt was lookin reeeeeal bad
Glad I could help!
Easy to follow with no extra info. Beauty.
I replaced my belt. The squeaking noise went away but shortly after my new belt got shredded even worse than the last one. Any ideas?
Helpful video.. thanks
5 yrs later and still helping a lot ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
@@wcarvalho4870 that was my intention!
@@Handy-MannGod bless you bro
Why on all the videos is the alternator at the front while on the car I have its at the back?

Me kede onde mismo alb
do these belts every stretch to long and began to make rattle noise because the are out of range of the tensioner?
Typically when they stretch they'll make a squealing noise, especially when starting the vehicle. So if you hear that belt squealing that means that either the belt has stretched or the tensioner needs to be tighter/is going out.
If you have a rattling sound you may have a bearing failing. Take the and spinning the water pump and alternator to rule them out
Hi. I'm now having a hard time with setting the belt onto the pulleys. So that nut and bolt should help with loosening the belt again?
Yes, that's correct
@@Handy-Mann oooops. I meant to correct myself. The 17mm bolt away from the belt system. I already removed the bolts from the alternator. I now have been attempting to set the belt onto the pulleys before resetting the new alternator.
Excellent video. Thanks.
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Putting on our new belt, your video really helped us find tensioner pulley. thank you.
Glad I could help!
@@Handy-Mann yeah we definitely got the belt on, and immediately had to take it off because we realized the water pump pulley was bad. 🤣 But this video really helped us thank you 🙂
Nice work! You definitely lucked out there
Thanks! Yeah I definitely should have checked that belt sooner, definitely looked I like it could have snapped at any point.
Idk. Mine is split lengthways and way more worn than this 😅
Didn't snap though
Brilliant. Easy to understand video. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!!

How is this helpful? You never showed how to put it on. You just described it. This is TH-cam.
If you can't figure it out, you shouldn't work on your car
