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 on this 2005 Ford F150 with the 4.6-liter V8 engine. The items you'll need for this is a new serpentine belt from 1AAuto.com, 1/2 inch ratchet, a piece of pipe for some extra leverage, and a flat blade screwdriver.
Using your screwdriver, just loosen up the hose clamp here and right here. Then push the tab on this hose, pull it free, and then pull your air intake hose free. Now your serpentine belt tensioner is located right down here, and, using a 1/2 inch ratchet or breaker bar, you just want to insert it into that square hole on the tensioner. Then using a piece of pipe for some extra leverage, just pull the tensioner back and it will loosen up the belt. You can lift the belt up and off the alternator. Then just carefully let the ratchet back down and then pull it free. Now you can pull your belt up and out.
Reach way down and pull the belt off the A/C compressor pulley first which is way down to the left as you're looking at the front of the engine. Then once it's off of that, go down and pull it off of the crank pulley which is right in the center of the engine. Now when you go to put your belt back on, you want to follow this diagram right here. You can just refer back to this as you're doing this procedure. Mike's also going to explain how to do it.
First step for putting the belt on, make a sharp bend in your new belt, and you want to feed that between your tensioner pulley and the idler pulley and go down that way. I need to help it along a little bit here. As that loop goes down, reach down, and this is your A/C compressor down here. Put the loop down and around your A/C compressor. Now I'm going to take a loop and loop it down, it's going over the tensioner pulley, but I'm going down and around the crank pulley. Then, hopefully, you can see, from the crank pulley, let me make sure it gets onto the crank pulley, and then a little tight up and around the water pump pulley here. Then there's an idler pulley and your power steering pump pulley. I'll leave it off of the alternator for right now.
I'll put it around the power steering pump pulley over here, around this idler pulley. All right, so take my pipe, go as far as I can on the tensioner, and I should be able to lift it up, so I'm going to try and take it off of this idler pulley, get it up on the alternator, pull my tensioner, and then push the belt down. You can see the idler pulley is the last one, push it right down under. Replace your air intake hose. Reconnect this hose and then tighten up those two hose clamps.

In this video, we're going to be working with our 2006 Ford Explorer. We're going to show you how to remove and replace your vehicle's serpentine belt. If you like this video, please click subscribe. We have a ton more information on this and many other vehicles. If you need this part for your car, you can follow the link down in the description over to 1AAuto.com. Here are the items you'll need for this repair.
Loosen the clamp on the air box side of the intake duct with a flat blade screwdriver. You'll then want to disconnect the breather lines. There's a little green tab here that you just pull back and pop them off. You'll then need to undo the clamp on the throttle body. You'll then want to remove the intake duct.
For some jobs like your alternator or idler pulleys, it may not be necessary to remove the belt fully. However, if the pulley has been dragging from a bad bearing or a weak alternator, it's probably damaged your belt a bit too and it's not a bad idea to replace it while you're in here.
Using a 1/2" drive ratchet, place it into the square drive of the serpentine belt tensioner and rotate the tensioner clockwise to release pressure and remove the belt from one of the pulleys. It's usually easiest to do this from a smooth pulley. Then carefully release tension and remove your ratchet. Remove the serpentine belt from under the A/C compressor and then pull the loop up and through over your tensioner. You'll then want to get it out from under the crack where it loops over the water pump. You've already unhooked it from the idler pulley on this side so loop it out from the grooved idler pulley and the power steering pump and remove your belt.
Here we have our old serpentine belt that we removed from our vehicle and our new part from 1AAuto.com. As you can see, these belts are exactly the same length and rib count. They actually look a little different right now, but if you open them up, they are the same. Obviously the old one's been stretched so it's a little bit larger. It will still work just fine. If your old belt has become cracked, dry-rotted, damaged, or is soaked in contaminants like this one has got some oil and coolant and other things from various leaks on the engine on it, this new belt from 1A Auto will go in direct fit just like your original equipment and fix you up right.
Now reinstalling the serpentine belt on this is going to be pretty difficult to show. You want to start with a loop and send it down and around the crank pulley. Now you're going to take the passenger side of the belt and bring it down between the tensioner and the A/C compressor at the bottom of the motor. With the right side of the belt, you're going to go up and over the water pump pulley all the way to the button of the motor on the driver side, where you'll go under the grooved idler pulley, as well as under the power steering pump pulley. Install your 1/2" drive into the tensioner and rotate it clockwise to release the belt tension. It's usually easiest to get over the alternator, then move your hand to the other side of the engine and go under the smooth idler pulley on the driver side, and then just use a light or your hand to check the belt path and make sure that everything went over and under all the pulleys currently and that it isn't hung up anywhere.
Reinstall the intake duct and pop on the two breather connections, then tighten it down with a flat blade screwdriver.
