    Default Serpentine Belt

    Hi

    Can anyone give me a few tips on fitting a new serpentine belt.

    Is it really as simple and pulling the tensioner back using a 3/8 drive, taking old belt off and putting new on.

    Does the tensioner need slackening before pulling back

    Any help would be appreciated

    Many thanks

    Duncan

    Duncan,

    Thought you sold your 260?
    Anyway when I changed mine it was as simple as you suggested just pulling the tensioner back. Might be worth drawing yourself a little diagram showing you which way the belt runs before you take the old one off.

    Nick fitted the new belt to mine in about 5 mins! Pull the tensioner back and take it off, do the same and put it back on.. that simple really.
    Did have #207, now belongs to John :(
    One day, I'll be back in the 260s... :)
