Brought to you by 1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the internet. Hi, I'm Don from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and then next time you need a part for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks. In this video we're going to show you how to replace the serpentine belt on this 2006 Jeep Liberty with the 3.7 liter V-6 engine. The only tool that you'll need for this is a 15 mm socket and ratchet.

Your belt is located right at the front of the engine. The tensioner is right here. You just want to put a 15 mm socket and ratchet on that tensioner and pull back on it. That'll loosen up the slack on the belt and allow you to pull the belt off each of those pulleys. If you look at your belt and it has cracks and splits like this, then it's definitely time to replace it. Now when you go to put your belt back on, you're going to need this belt routing diagram that shows you exactly how the belt should look. You just want to follow this and make sure that your belt, once you get it back on all the pulleys, looks just like this. Just use this as a reference.

It's hard to show it, but you can see Don's going to feed the belt down into place and put it onto each of those pulleys. Once you have only one pulley left to put the belt onto, get your ratchet and put that 15 mm socket and ratchet on the tensioner, pull it back, put the belt down on the last pulley, and then use the tensioner still to make sure that your belt is on each of the pulleys all the way, and that there's no chance of them slipping off, and that everything is in place. Once you know everything's in place, just carefully remove the socket and ratchet, and you're all set.
