In this video we're going to be working with our 2002 Chevy Suburban 5.3-liter V8. We're going to show you how to remove and replace the serpentine belt tensioner. This is for the forward serpentine belt that runs all the accessories, with the exception of your air conditioning.

Here are the items you'll need for this repair: flat blade screwdriver, 15mm wrench, 15mm socket, ratchet, socket extension
Loosen the hose clamp just after the mass air flow sensor. This is going to be the second one back from your air box. We'll do this using a flat blade screwdriver. Wiggle and twist the boot to release it from the mass air flow sensor. You may need to use your screwdriver to help peel it back here. These tend to get stuck on pretty good. We'll also remove the one at the throttle body. We'll need to disconnect the hoses from their clamps here. You can either try prying it out there, or there's also a little clamp at the bottom here that you should be able to compress, pop loose with a flat blade, and remove the intake runner from the vehicle.
We've removed some things like the radiator fan and the fan shroud to make it easier to show you what's going on, but you shouldn't need to do this if you're doing this job at home. Before removing your serpentine belt, make sure your vehicle has a belt path diagram under the hood somewhere. If this is missing or faded, you can just draw another one onto the plastic with something like a paint marker. Using a 15mm wrench on the tensioner, rotate the nut clockwise to slack the belt. Pop the belt off of whatever pulley is easiest for you to reach. Let the tension off the pulley and remove your serpentine belt.
You need a 15mm socket, ratchet, and extension to remove the three 15mm bolts on the tensioner bracket.
Reinstall the serpentine belt tensioner onto the water pump housing cover. Two longer bolts go in the upper holes, and the shortest bolt goes in the bottom. Tighten these bolts with a 15mm socket and ratchet.
Install the belt over the front grooves of the harmonic balancer or crank pulley. Bringing the right side over top of the pulley. We'll then go over top of the water pump and loop under the power steering pump, over the alternator, under the idler pulley. I'll keep this piece in my hand. Make sure that everything is seated because this one's kind of tight and you're going to want the room. Using my 15mm wrench, we'll take the tension off of the tensioner pulley, slide the belt over, double-check that our path is right, all of the belt is properly seated, and then let the tension back on.
Reinstall the intake tubing. It's easiest to set it onto the throttle body. Reengage the hoses into their clips and then get the boot over the air box. Then tighten down both clamps with a flat blade screwdriver.

Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the A/C serpentine belt tensioner on this 2002 Chevy Suburban with a 5.3 liter V8 engine. It's the same part and similar process on these Suburbans from 2000 to 2008. The items you'll need for this are a new A/C belt tensioner from 1AAuto.com, 10mm and 15mm socket and ratchet, flat blade screw driver, and a 3/8 inch ratchet.
Start off by loosening these two hose clamps using your flat blade screw driver. We'll just fast forward as Don does this. Now just pry this clip out and then pull the hose back. You may need a flat blade screwdriver to help you pry it free and then pull forward and lift it up and out.
Next, remove these two 10mm bolts and we'll fast forward as Don does that. Then pry the clip on this hose out of the fan shroud, and then remove these four clips around your shroud. To remove these clips, you just pry up the center and then pull the clip out. We'll fast forward as Don does this to the other three. Then just pull that hose back and lift the shroud straight up and out.
Right here is your tensioner. Just put the 15mm socket and ratchet on it and push down on the ratchet. This will release the tension on the belt, and you can pull the belt from the pulleys. You want to just reach down, pull it off all the pulleys, and the belt will be free. You can just pull it up and out.
Underneath the front bumper, you'll see this plate and you need to remove these five 15mm bolts. We'll fast forward as Don removes those. Behind the plate, is your A/C belt tensioner and you just use a 3/8 inch ratchet. Just pull down on the tensioner and then pull your A/C belt free. It pulls right off. Right here is your A/C belt tensioner. Sorry for the shaky camera, but you can see it's held in with two 15mm bolts and we'll just fast forward as Don removes those. Then the A/C tensioner will just pull right off.
On the left is the old A/C belt tensioner. On the right is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical and they'll fit exactly the same. Put your new A/C belt tensioner into place and replace those two 15mm bolts. We'll just fast forward as Don tightens those up. Feed your new A/C belt back up into place and for now, you're really just preliminarily getting it into place, and then, use your ratchet on the tensioner. Now make sure the belt is on all the pulleys and that it's on all the way. Once the belt is in the right position on each of the pulleys, carefully release the tension on the tensioner and pull your ratchet free. Put the skid plate back up into place and replace those five 15mm bolts and tighten them up.
Now, located at the front of your truck, you'll see this serpentine belt diagram. You want to follow this when you're putting your belt back on and really it's hard to show us doing it, so you're going to have to refer to that, but it's pretty simple to follow. Everything is where it needs to be and you can see he starts with the lower pulleys. He just starts feeding the belt down and around each of them following that diagram. We'll fast forward as he does the majority of this. Once you've got it on all but one pulley, push back down on the tensioner and double check. Make sure your belt is on all the pulleys properly and that it's not just half on some of them. Then just get it into position. Then carefully release the tension on the tensioner and pull the ratchet free.
Now to replace the shroud, just push it back down into place. Then, replace those four clips. Just push them back down into place and push the center down to lock them. Push the hose back into place, and then, replace those two 10mm bolts. Now take this air intake hose and push it back down into place on the air intake box and then onto the engine. Then just tighten up those two hose clamps. Then just re-clip that hose to the air intake hose and you're all set.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the serpentine belt tensioner on this 2003 GMC Envoy XL with the 5.3-liter V8 engine. The items you'll need for this include a 15mm socket and ratchet, an 8mm wrench, a T30 Torx bit, and a flat blade screwdriver.
Use an 8mm wrench to disconnect the negative battery cable. Start off by loosening this hose clamp and this hose clamp, then remove this T30 bolt up here. We'll just fast-forward as Mike does that. Now pull this hose free. Then lift that air intake hose up and out.
Next, you want to locate your serpentine belt diagram, which is located right here on the shroud. You just want to refer to this as you're trying to put the belt back in place. Make sure that you have one of these before messing with the belt. Then, using a 15mm socket and ratchet, or 15mm wrench and another wrench for extra leverage, just push down on the tensioner and pull the belt up and over that center pulley.
Carefully relieve the tension on the tensioner. Pull your belt off your tensioner and then remove these three 15mm bolts. We'll just fast-forward as Mike does that. When you remove the last bolt the tensioner will pull free.
Lower your new tensioner back down with the top bolt in place. Then just line it up and hand tighten the bolt. Replace the other two bolts by hand. Then tighten them all up. Now pull the belt back up, over the alternator, and over the tensioner. At the same time, you want to make sure that the belt is on each of the pulleys correctly. Then just double check with your belt diagram that the belt's in the right order and on each of the pulleys.
Put your wrench, or socket and ratchet, onto the tensioner, and pull back on the tensioner. Just push your belt underneath that center pulley. Carefully release the tension, and make sure your belt is on all the pulleys correctly.
Feed your air intake hose back down into place. Make sure it's pushed on all the way. Then push this end back into place. Then tighten up those two hose clamps. Now tighten up the T30 bolt. Reconnect your negative battery cable.

I want to help you save time and money, repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20 plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this. To show you the correct way to install part from 1AAuto.com. The right parts, installed correctly. That's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we're going to replace the serpentine belt tensioner on this 2002 Sierra with a six liter. The same procedure for any GMC or Chevy truck, 99' to 07' basically. With 4.8, 5.3, or six liter v8's. Tools you'll need, flat blade screwdriver, 15mm socket and ratchet with a small extension. Symptom of a bad belt tensioner is a squeaking from the front of your engine. Could also be your idler pulley. Just check out our other video to see the idler pulley removal and installation. First you want to move your intake hose. By removing, or loosening two clamps, one there and one there. We're going to speed up through this part here. Use your screwdriver to pry in, break the rubber loose and the plastic, Maybe twist it a little bit as well. Then pull it from the throttle body and also pry ... there's a little clip that hold the radiator hose in, pry that out with your screwdriver as well. Now I'm going to install it back on my intake hose, to make it easier for later.
Now you can see your tensioner is right here. What you're going to do is take a 15mm socket and ratchet and put the socket on there. Then that takes the ... you just move the ratchet clockwise and that takes the tension off. You can pull the belt either off of your tensioner or I'm actually over here pulling it off of the idler pulley in the middle. Then slowly release this back. It's going to actually go back further than the original point. Now get your wrench back off. Once you have your belt off, many times you can reach in here and spin these and hear some grinding or shaking, or shake them back and forth and you can there's some play in that pulley. This is your idler pulley here. Many times there is play, this one feels actually pretty good. There is also another tensioner on this vehicle. It's for the AC belt and you can see it right down in there.
You can see that belt is actually looking a little cracked, so I'm going to replace that as well. That will be on a different video, but that's something to keep in mind. You may take your drive belt off and realize that these ones really aren't the problem. Your noise might be coming from the AC tensioner down there. You can check out our other video to see that. To remove your tensioner there's three bolts. You can see one here, one down lower, and then there's one right down below there. Those are 15mm bolts. I'm going to use a 15mm socket with an extension and a ratchet and remove these bolts. I'm going to really speed through taking these bolts off. You don't really need to see me working a ratchet. Pretty all surprised on this truck, truck has got a lot of miles and it doesn't look like this has been replaced before. The bolts came loose pretty easy.
Then, as you probably see here, I actually used my fingers to loosen them or take them out most of the way. Here I am just removing the last top bolt. Now the tensioner comes up and out. Here you can see, here's the original tensioner, new tensioner from 1A Auto. All the same, going to mount the same. What I usually like to do is ... that actually goes in like that. Take our top bolt, put it in, put it down in, and start that top bolt. Take our bottom, long bolt, put it in, start it. Then our third bolt that's way down on the bottom, put it in and start, and then tighten them up. Once again, we'll fly through me just tightening these three bolts. When you tighten the bolts you want to probably give them a final tightening 30 to 35 foot pounds. To put the belt back on, what you want to find is your routing diagram.
We're going to be using this one right here. The solid belt is the one that we're going to be looking at. What you're going to do is actually feed it down and around your crank pulley first. Then up and over your water pump, around your power steering, and then up in here. Then you'll pull, what I usually do is pull on here and then pull it up onto the alternator. I'll show you that, you can't really film it very well, so you'll have to take ... Of course, I can't really film it that well, so you have to take my word for it that that's what I'm doing. You can take your belt, feed it down, feed it down, and just make a loop. Make sure it goes all the way around your crank pulley, over the water pump here, and down and around the power steering pump. First I went down and around my crank pulley, up and around the water pump, with the back side of the belt. Then around the power steering pump. Now I have this part that I can hold to put onto the alternator.
I'm just going to set it there for a second. Took my socket, put it on my 15mm bolt on my tensioner. Then while I pull this way on the tensioner, I'll take the belt and pull it up and onto the alternator. Then the tensioner takes over and I'm just going to push it on a little more to my idler pulley here. Make sure it's pretty well centered. After you have the belt on, just a quick check, make sure it's on all the pulleys. Look way down at the crank pulley and make sure that it's on correctly down there. Also, obviously over here, the alternator and the power steering pulley. Everything looks good. We're going to fast forward though this section, which is just putting that tube back in basically, and pushing the rubber onto the plastic. Tightening up the clamps and reinstalling that little clip that held the radiator hose to it. After that you should be pretty much all set.
