Auto Parts: serpentine belt on 97 dodge stratus, cheater bar, dodge stratus


Question
Hi-
The belt on my stratus broke yesterday and we are putting a new one on..not sure where to begin any help?

Answer
There should be a diagram somewhere on the radiator or in that area that shows how to re-run the belt. Follow that exactly. I'm looking online to see if I can find a picture of the diagram for you. I'll re-email you if/when I can find it. You'll need to get a socket and long ratchet and possibly a 'cheater bar' on the tensioner pully to get the belt on.
If you don't get the belt on just right according to the diagram your engine won't work-so please take your time and follow the diagram carefully. Hopefully I can find a pitcure for you in case yours is not there anymore.
