The routing path is critical to ensure that the water pump , alternator, and fan hub rotate in the correct direction with sufficient tension. Typical Rib Count Components Driven Alternator, Water Pump, Fan Hub, Crankshaft Dampener A/C Drive Belt Air Conditioning Compressor, Fan Hub (Outer Grooves) Common 8-Rib Routing Path Start from the inner grooves of the fan hub .
: Loops directly up and around the A/C compressor pulley .
You insert the bar into the square hole of the tensioner pulley. You lean your weight against the spring—sometimes 60 or 80 pounds of resistance. The belt goes slack. You slide the rubber onto the final pulley. You let go of the bar.
A shiny or "glazed" underside on the belt indicates it is slipping, often caused by a failing tensioner or oil contamination.
