How do I change the belts on a 2002 Toyota Sienna V6? I was expecting to find a single serpentine belt with an automatic tensioner pulley. I have changed serpentine belts on many models with no problem. But this Sienna has two belts, not one. One belt drives the power steering pump. The second belt drives the alternator and A/C. I don't see a tensioner pulley on either belt. Do these belts work like old-fashioned V-belts belts where you tension them by loosening something (like the alternator) and then using a pry bar to tighten the belt? I can barely see the power steering pump so it looks pretty tight, I welcome advice from anybody who knows this model. Thanks.
If I repace a snow blower drive belt with a non v belt will it still work right? My belt broke on my snow blower, the one that drives the wheels. I took it off searched ebay for a replacement part number. Found one that says it fits that model but the belt that came is a non v - belt its just a plane flat style belt, same width and lenthg though. Will this work the same or is it critical to have the v belt ribbed on the bottom style?

having problem with v belts? i was told i needed to change my ac belt on my 99 nissan frontier. of course it had to be the belt on the inside so i had to take all 3 belts off. i got the power steering belt off but i couldn't get the alternator belt off since it didnt have a pully. so i loosened the alternator adjusting screws an it still wouldn't budge so i went ahead and put the belts back on and now my truck wont start. help please. the alternator belt was still a little loose when i put it back on but i had the screws tightened yes it has a crank shaft pulley but it does not have a bolt to loosen it. i have a haynes repair manual an it says to loosen the lock nut and the adjuster screw on the alternator. i had to tighten the nut and the screw all the way so i think i need a new tensioner. could this be my problem?
2004 Nissan Sentra Drive V Belts.? As above, i have a 04 Sentra and am going to need to replace both the drive belts. I think the prices that i was given at the shops i usually go to are way too expensive (like $100) just to change the belts, so i'd like to do it myself. Anyone know pretty much needs to be done, as I'm a little in the dark when it comes to changing the belts, i think i've seen a nut on the Idle pulley, and the tension adjustment skrews, but that's about it. Any help is appreciated.
Is the lower stack pulley supposed to spin and rub my v-belt on my mower deck? I have a Huskee 40" riding mower. I have restored virtually everything on this thing except the drive belt and stack pulley. The mower deck is completely restored. I'm concerned that my v-belt will be worn away because while the blades are disengaged, the belt sits loosely on the lower stack pulley as it spins to drive the upper stack pulley. Is the lower stack pulley supposed to spin like this, or are there supposed to be bearings that allow for the belt to sit still without being rubbed?
How do I align my V belt pulley on my 454? I don't have an alignment tool or anything. But I do got tools so if someone can explain to me what to do I can do it It's the pulley that runs the power steering i believe. It is a little crook ed and is making the belt squire and get really hot

42" Snow blower attachment for John Deere question about belts.? I have a 42" snowblower attachment for my John Deere L120 riding mower. I have downloaded the manual for the blower off the JD web site but the photos are of very poor quality. What I really need is someone to send me a pic of the proper belt routing for both the PTO belt and the V belt that goes to the jack shaft pully on the blower. I think I have it routed proper but there seems to be too much slack in it. I have the idler pully pulled as far as it will go and it just seems like the belt should be more taut. Thanks.

What do the different 'Official' World Taekwondo Federation Black Belts look like? I just went to an open tournament a few weeks ago and I saw a few people wearing World Taekwondo Federation uniforms. (WTF Patches on V-neck uniforms with black V-trim.) One had a black belt with 5 white stripes embroidered on it. Another guy had a black belt with a red strip running through it. (Someone said he was a 5th dan black belt.) Okay, so if a red strip running the length of the belt is 5th and 5 white strips on the tip is a 5th degree, then which one is 'Official' and what other 'Official' black belt designs are there. In other styles I have seen black belts with two red stripes running the length of the belt. Black belts with a red strip with gold trim running the length; black belts with a white stripe running the length, black belts with an extra wide red stripe running the length of the belt. Since I just started Tae Kwon Do, I would love to know what the office WTF black belt description are. Links are good, but just a brief description will be fine. Thank you! The man wearing the white WTF dobok (Uniform) with the black v-neck adn the black belt with the red stripe running through the center of the belt (NOT half black & half red) was in his early to mid 40's, not a child. So I guess I should have asked, what do each of the 'official' WTF black belts look like. (i.e. a 2nd Dan is a solid black belt with two white stripes at the tip. etc...)
