How to Replace Belts on a 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor

Replacing the serpentine belt on the Mitsubishi Endeavor is necessary if the belt is starting to stretch, has damage on it, or is extremely worn. The belt drives all the accessories on the front of the engine and if it fails, the engine may overheat, the alternator will not produce electricity and the power steering will not work. Replacement belts are available at most auto-parts stores. Check your serpentine belt often and replace it before it breaks.

Instructions

1

Locate the negative battery cable on the negative battery terminal. Remove the retaining bolt from the battery cable end with a wrench, then remove the cable from the battery. Isolate the cable from the battery terminals while you are working on the belt.

2

Locate the belt tensioner on the front of the engine between the alternator and the water pump. Loosen the axis bolt, the bolt in the center of the tensioners pulley, with a socket and ratchet but do not remove it.

3

Locate the adjusting bolt on the bottom of the tensioner, just below the pulley, then turn it counterclockwise with a socket and ratchet until the belt is loose. Remove the belt from the pulleys and discard it.

4

Install the new belt over the pulleys, following the same path as the original belt, then tighten the adjustment bolt by turning it clockwise. Tighten the belt until you can push the belt down 1/8- to -inch between the pulleys.

5

Tighten the axis bolt on the tensioner pulley with a socket and ratchet. Install the negative battery cable on the negative battery terminal, install the retaining bolt and tighten it with a wrench.
