    Brian, you rock! Ford dealership wanted to charge me about $200. As a recent divorce and a single parent of a Special Needs child, I am strapped for cash…well, in the hole actually…anyway….thanks to this video and your guidance I was convinced to but a $17 belt from Amazon and do it myself. Watched it once, had to make a “long screwdriver” with a spare steel rod I had and set to work. 30 minutes and I was done. A bit scraped up, but feeling ever so confident and happy. Thanks to you I have money for groceries instead of forking it over to the dealership. Thank you so much!

    Thanks for the great video. Two things to add for people watching: There are two different belt lengths depending on your alternator size; make sure you get the right one. You absolutely need a long handle ratchet or a piece of pipe to extend your handle to get all the tension out.

    OK....having just done this here are my thoughts:
    First: The tensioner is 3/8" drive...who has a 3/8" breaker bar...not me...so I used my normal ratchet and an old bike seatpost as an extension. With all respect to the "how to" this is a 3 hand job. It's so tight I couldn't get my right hand down while holding tension with the left so I use zip-ties to tie it off to the hood support rod.
    Second: It's a whole lot easier to fit the belt to the drive and AC pulleys from underneath. So I jacked up the car enough to slip under and see what I was doing...easy peasy as that point. Now comes the alternator pulley.
    Third: Since the belt comes folded up in a sleeve it just wouldn't push up high enough for me to grab. So after a little cussin I grabbed a hanger from the closet and was able to hook it up high enough to grab and slip over the alternator pulley. Then simple matter to cut the zip-ties and release the tension. Job done.
    Start the engine and check to insure belt is fully seated-good to go. Did I mention it's tight. Scrapes on both forearms from mucking around that end of the engine. They say this is an $85 job at your local shop...even with the screwing around with the coat hanger...done in 20 minutes for a $20 belt. I'd say it was worth it. However, taking a close look at the Motorcraft original belt I removed (my 2013 has 110,000 miles so it seemed about time for a change) it was fine. No cracks or brittleness...it probably would have run at least another 25,000 miles. Oh well. Now I know it will run at least another 100,000 miles.

      A very crammed tight area for a belt. Probably the most annoying one I’ve ever done. I agree, it’s a 3 hand job. I worked from underneath and had a 2nd person crank the tensioner.

    Well just completed this PIA project, now just trying to stop the bleeding from all the scrapes, cuts got from the job. The zip idea of holding the belt on the crank pulley is helpful, struggled for 1 1/2 hours because the belt they gave me was the smaller belt (175 amp alternator), when back and got the bigger belt for the more powerful 200 amp alternator. The info about the AC bracket was very helpful, I also "peeled back" the inner wheel cover for better access. I had to have an extra set of hands to hold the tensioner back, finally got it on. Overall, WOULD NOT WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN!!!!!!!!
    smaller belt was 45 3/8, you need the 45 5/58, save yourself the trouble

  • @stacyadiaz
    @stacyadiaz 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Just replaced this on my wife's 2013. What a PIA. Eventually I found it went on easier if I looped the belt around the crankshaft pulley and A/C compressor from underneath. Up top, wedge a broom stick between the engine mount and lower coolant recovery tank hose. The stick prevents the belt from slipping off the top of the crank pulley. Loop the belt under the tensioner, apply tension and work it on the alternator.

    Thanks for the video. I did end up with a stucknsocket wrench following these instructions though. If you have a 1-1/8" wrench it works much easier as a tensioner. Socket wrench got stuck against A/C line clip after new belt was in place. Use the large wrench on top of tensioner, better leverage and easier removal. If you don't have a 1-1/8" wrench, take the clip off first!

    As others have said, if your old belt is stretched out when you install the new belt, the tensioner will ride in a different spot and you won’t be able to get your ratchet off of the tensioner. I’d recommend taking the mounting bolt out for the ac line before taking the belt off.

      @@scottg5588 It was such a pain to get the new belt on there, took a guy on top holding the tension and someone on bottom slipping the belt under the smooth tensioner pulley. I did NOT want to take the belt off and go through that again so I undid the 3 engine mount bolts most of the way and jacked the engine up with jack and a wood block on the oil pan. That gave me enough wiggle room to move the engine and get my ratchet out. Depending on how much you love your ratchet, you could also Sawzall the square end of the ratchet.

    Tip. Take the AC fill line strap off first thing!!!!! The one you see across from the tensioner on the frame. I just spent a hour trying to get it off because after I put the new belt on I couldn't get my ratchet out because it was in the way. When the old belt is on the tensioner hole is more towards the back on the vehicle but the new belt it was straight across from that bolt on that strap. It will save you a lot of cussing if you remove it first.

    There is a small line that looks like it is coming off the radiator. It is a steel line into a rubber hose with a cover on it. When the belt broke it whipped around and torn that hose. Which happens to be like an inch away from the lowest pulley. What is that hose called, part number or any other insight on that piece? I need to find fix that as well as the belt and hope the broken belt wasn't linked to ac compressor problem as this all went down when I turned on the AC. If you pause at 2:29 of the video it is the line/hose coming from the right of the screen dropping down into the engine bay.

    Thanks for the video but you did not show removing the ratchet from the tensioner after you got the belt back on. You should have shown that you need to remove the bolt holding an AC line against the frame. You can not get the ratchet off without removing that bolt as you see at 0257. So remove the bolt and swing the bracket out of the way, put the ratchet on the tensioner and install the belt then reattach the bracket for the AC. I just did this on my car and it would have been nice to have that info.

    This 2016 Ford explorer that I'm working on doesn't look anything like this one. Also there are 2 belts...

    Ford loves to play games, and I'm sure a lot of their engineers are masochists. There are at least 2 Alternators, and they use different belts. There is a 175 AMP, and a 200 AMP that I know of. God help you if you put the wrong belt on. Why would Ford do this? I wonder how much difference in wholesale price there is between the two? Or is it just a different size pulley? Regardless, they would prefer you buy another car before you have to replace the belt, just like their grand daddy used to do.

      The most you'll spend on a belt is maybe $30, you won't save that much maybe $3 - $5
