Default ****Belt install help... PICS!!!****

Has anyone with a procharger ever put a serpentine belt on themselves? I can't find anything on how to do it?

I've heard you have to remove the headunit, but does that include removing the bracket portion with the head unit as well or just the blower? Do you have to totally remove the head unit from the sleeves of the piping?

I'm truly at a loss and trying to learn. I would really really truly disgustinly mother ****ing dispise taking this to a Ford dealership

If someone could take the time and walk me through step by step I would so appreciate it....

I doubt Ford would even do it for you, since that's obviously aftermarket, and they aren't expected to work on ProChargers. I know the Caddy dealer I work at would probably refuse or at least not guarantee their work since we don't have any information on stuff like that.

i just posted in another thred about this, in my 98gt i do NOT need to remove the headunit to replace the belt (p-1sc). its a little tight but can be done with the headunit in there (for npi blocks anyway).

Hey man, just take out those two bolts in the first picture there and then the one onthe other side where it bolts to the alternator, it should be an allen head bolt. Do those three and it just pulls away from the engine. I've done it a lot just by myself, it's really not too difficult. Thread the belt around and then just bolt her right back up.

+1 The allen head bolt goes through an idler pulley. Make sure you get all of the spacers back in the right places or else the pulleys won't line up correctly. You have to loosely put the belt on and then put the supercharger back on before you can finish installing the belt. You use a 3/8 inch ratchet to hold the tensioner pulley down and slip the belt over the water pump pulley last. For me this was the most frustrating part. Everytime I tried to slip the belt over the waterpump, it came off the bottom pulleys. I finally had my wife hold the belt on the bottom pulleys to get the belt on.
