how do i change my belts?

[illestcreatedsoul]

how do you change all three belts on a s13 with ka24e motor?

[jdm_master_X]

loosen the tensioners on the power steering pump, alternator, and air conditioning pump.

do you have a diagram of it or know where i can look at one, sorry but i just got the car and im jus getting used to it

[RedSVTFlareside]

you use some wrenches and just loosen the tensioners. I can't break it down any more than that. Did you even look at it yet?

[huntin5L]

You have to loosen the tensioners. The bottom right most pulley, the tensioner is behind the pulley. The other tensioner is on the alternator and the last one i believe is the upper right pulley.

thanx for being more specific bro that madd helped me out... but do i need to take off the fan? or is there any easier way to get to the bottom tensioner

nah you can work the belts around the fan.

if it's ur first time especially if everything is completely stock, i suggest u take off the fan. them factory bolts a ***** to take off. Had to use a pipe to add more torque to ratchet to pull it off. follow the belts.. look at the pulleys and the bolts that are connected to it. not very complicated.

its real easy. as Ive done this 439283728 times. Im sure I can give you instructions based on memory.

1. Remove vacuum lines from intake pipe2. disconnect intake pipe from intake element.3. remove intake mounting hardware4. remove intake pipe.5. disconnect upper radiator hose6. remove fan shroud, fan (makes it easier)7. loosen tensioners8. loosen alternator mounting bolt, but do not remove all the way9. remove belts10. replace with new belts11. reverse process.

You can screw up two of the three belts on the KA24E, and it will still run, lol. albeit without P/S or A/C.
