Note:

This article shows how to replace a Chevrolet accessory belt.

To replace the power steering pump belt, we turn on the highest gear in the gearbox and push the car back until the holes in the pump pulley align with the pump mounting bolts.

1. Through the hole in the pump pulley with the “13” head, unscrew the upper bolt of the pump and remove the bolt.

The upper bolt mounts the Chevrolet power steering pump.

Note:

Similarly, loosen the lower pump mounting bolt and turn the pump towards the engine. 

2. Using a flat screwdriver, slide the Chevrolet Cruze accessory belt off the power steering pump pulley and remove it from the engine compartment.

2  - generator pulley;

3  - tension roller;

4  — a pulley of the pump of a cooling liquid;

5  - drive belt for auxiliary units;

6  - air conditioning compressor pulley.

3.  Turn off four bolts of protection of a crankcase of the engine (bolts are shown by arrows) and remove protection.

4. Remove two pistons and unscrew three bolts of fastening of the right mudguard of a motor compartment.

5. Slide the right shield down and remove it.

6. Using the E-18 head, turn the Chevrolet crankshaft clockwise by the pulley mounting screw and evaluate the condition of the belt.

Note:

The surface of the belt should not have cracks, undercuts and delamination of the fabric from the rubber, and the reverse side of the belt should not have wear, exposing the cord threads, and signs of burning. On the end surfaces of the belt there should be no delaminations and fraying. If there is damage, the belt must be replaced. The belt must also be replaced if traces of oil are found on it (before replacing the belt, the cause of its oiling should be eliminated) or when replacing a failed belt tensioner or guide roller.

7. With a 19 hex head, turn the roller bracket counterclockwise, overcoming the resistance of the tensioner spring, until the holes in the bracket and the tensioner body match.

8.  Insert a 5.5 mm rod (for example, a drill shank) into the holes.

9. Remove the belt from the tensioner and from all pulleys.

Note:

If the belt is not removed for replacement (for example, when dismantling the generator), before starting work, we mark the direction of rotation of the belt.

10. If you need to replace the tension roller, then unscrew it with the E-14 head.

Remove the Chevrolet auxiliary belt tensioner.

11. Installing the Chevrolet auxiliary belt occurs in the reverse order of removal.

Note:

We put a new belt on the coolant pump pulley and the power steering pump pulley. To tension the belt with a mounting spatula or a large screwdriver, we press the power steering pump from the engine (until the holes for the upper pump mounting bolt are aligned), wrap and tighten the upper and lower pump mounting bolts.
