Broke my belt today on holiday luckily had a spare belt in the car to get back on the road but found the cause of the breakage thanks to this video. Great Video, got same problem on my Px Ranger, the belt is sitting over the edge of the pulley on the tensioner exactly like this Video after replacing it with a new belt on the side of the road. Going to buy new tensioner tomorrow and fix it. Had me thinking for a while why the belt was sitting like that.
Thanks, I was almost ready to start pulling off the power steering. The stud came out and back in with a 7/32 single hex but would recommend getting the proper tool before pulling it all apart
Good stuff, tackling one of these tomorrow, thought i'd just a quick google, save me some time finding out where the bolts are.... Had one jump the belt and wrap up behind the crank pulley. Customer put a belt on and kept driving, virtually melted off the plastic seal carrier and front seal lip was just gone....so much filthy oil.....put it back together to find belt walking forward on the tensioner. I found if i put my 1/2" ratchet with a small bar into the adjuster hole, you can push toward/away from the engine and find the whole tensioner assembly will wobble, couple that with worn/wobbly pulleys them selves.....This car was also getting some light squealing from the mis-aligned belt which is a good warning that something isn;t straight
Fellow mechanic here and that's a pretty comprehensive yet nicely condensed video for the job. I have wondered the similar thought to you once the job was done and how the belt can remain a little of centre on either one or both of the pulleys. If you can use very fine shims (or ground down flat washers) and that can assist with corrections on the belt alignment. Obviously there is some play in the corresponding next pulley or accessories in the belt circuit which can cause that but a customer isn't going to want everything on the front of the engine just to keep the belt on. Nice work and a new sub for you here. HMU with a sub too if you can on my channel. Cheers mate 😊🏎️💨

All fixed thanks to this video and also another video showing how to put the drive belt back on.
Thanks. Top stud HAS to come out else tensioner interferes with power steering pump.
