Default '03 Cobra Serpentine Belt Install

I have a friend with an '03 Cobra (same as mine) and his serpentine belt that drives the water pump, A/C, crank (rear belt) is squealing like a pig...Question: Do you have to remove the S/C bracket & S/C crank to get to the belt??

Good Luck Tim. It took me quite a few minutes installing my Gatorback belt for my pulley swap. You do have to remove all idlers and the bracket to put the serpentine on. It should be easy enough for the most part.

Thanks for the info...NOT for my Cobra, but for a friend of mine (I'm keeping my fingers crossed for now '03 SB Cobra...)

..I'll let you know how it goes!
