Re: Serpentine Belt broke while driving - new belt won't install!

Replaced the power steering pump as well as put an INA tensioner on. Still some tensioner movement. Hopefully it's no big deal.

Re: Serpentine Belt broke while driving - new belt won't install!

Update

I replaced the bad alternator pulley. Upon test run, tensioner still had noticeable oscillation. It seemed slightly better and less noisy, but still moving.

Re: Serpentine Belt broke while driving - new belt won't install!

The pulley I'm replacing first is the Alternator clutch pulley - from what I can tell that is a splined setup?

Also if I order the power steering pump pulley - any recommended pullers?

EDIT: from what I've read I may be better off just getting a new whole PS pump if I go that route..

Re: Serpentine Belt broke while driving - new belt won't install!

I've ordered a new alternator pulley. Verified part number for my vehicle/alternator.
Crossing my fingers it will fix it. Will report back after replacement.

Re: Serpentine Belt broke while driving - new belt won't install!

185k miles.

I put a screwdriver in the alternator to hold the shaft and attempted to turn it both ways and it didn't turn either.

Re: Serpentine Belt broke while driving - new belt won't install!

Took belt back off:

Should the alternator pulley spin freely in both directions? Any tests I can run on the pulleys to check their functionality?

Re: Serpentine Belt broke while driving - new belt won't install!

Uh oh. Thanks for checking.

I had someone step on the gas a little to bring RPMs up from idle and the movement persisted. So it doesn't appear to be from the idle.

Re: Serpentine Belt broke while driving - new belt won't install!

Also - no squealing from the belt.

I will post a video later of what's going on. Thank you all for your concern.

Re: Serpentine Belt broke while driving - new belt won't install!

I will take a look today and observe all the pulleys to check for issues.

Alternator is roughly 1.5 years old.
