View Full Version : Serpentine Belt removal Xman 12-11-2002, 06:24 AM Water pump couldn't handle the temps over the week-end and decided to dump all the water not too far from home, fortunately. Decided to change the water pump myself. Got stuck very early in the process. :confused: ..how do you loosen off the tension on the belt?? (I already posted this with the Cherokee section not realising you have a tech talk section...my apologies) By the way it's a 95 XJ 4.0L. Thanks graemlins/beerchug.gif Wooders 12-11-2002, 06:51 AM From memory the XJ belt is tensioned by a spring loaded pulley. It's on the drivers side. Basically you put your dirty big spanner on the pulley bolt, but instead of loosening it you tighten it - this should move the pulley and mount and allow you to remove the belt..... Well that's my vague memory...I let someone that ACTUALLY ones an XJ answer graemlins/zombie.gif [ 12 November 2002, 05:52 PM: Message edited by: Wooders ] Gojeep 12-11-2002, 09:53 AM I have a write up in my how to setion on how to do it.

Xman 13-11-2002, 09:19 AM Thanks PK Not sure what's on your mind but judging from your description I think it might be the habits of another type of serpentine..! ;) Gojeep 13-11-2002, 10:41 AM Originally posted by Xman: GoJeep, Thank you ...you're a life saver.
