Thank you.I did something like that 3 hours ago. One extra I did was a wire pull the belt upward and A SCREW driver to flip it and a bar to jack the tensioner, hard though.......managed to changed the belt. Amigo.

This is a quite effective trick given you have enough working room. It is rather not so straight forward on most car models; especially if you have little to no working room.

Never saw the end because I shot myself in the face.

“Just scoop” just scoop it up.... fml

your pulley is broken

Thank you Lyn; Thanks to you last evening I got my alternator belt on. event dough after losing my tensioner screw all the way, I still couldn't put my belt on just by using my hands. ( In my case I changed my alternator on a Dodge Stratus Rt 3.0) (This kind of cars has a tensioner screw ) Thank you very much again and Blessings!

Thanks for the hack!! Totally helped us 😄🙌

Original FoMoCo Poly-V belt broke at 55,000 mi. Ford dealers didn't have any in stock. AutoZone, Advance, O'Reilly's, NAPA, Bumper to Bumper didn't have one. AZ actually had one by size but not by application! Installed it w/o the special tools. Regular socket (18mm) wouldn't go in. Got a through socket set at Harbor Freight for $20 shorty socket just barely fit! Turned the crank while guiding the belt onto the generator (slang: "alternator") pulley by main force. No guiding tools, no sandpaper tricks.

My brain blew up midway

Thanks for the info!!. This method worked for me on my Kia Soul

It gives me hope that I can do my belt, I have no breaker bar and can't move the tensioner, it's a different set up for the belt, but I'll use the new water pump I installed as leverage 😂

Your friendly certified Mercedes dealer in El Salitre , Jalisco, Mexico is running 50% off this week

Somebody gonna learn to do something on youtube today...classic

I hope you changed the Water pump before starting it ,Bearings are shot , PS you can do the ssme thing at the idler .

Wow look at the play in the water pump and the broken jockey wheel that's why the belt came off in the first place lol

with that space i could do that belt in 5 mins , try a hyundai sonata 2.4 real tight!

Maybe for this model car. A lot of other cars don't have the space to do this. Obscured by the body of the car or other parts.

Why didn't you use the lug wrench, to release the tension on the belt tensioner, I believe they are both 17 mm?

I looove her accent😚😚😚

How to ruin a new belt: a tutorial

Yeah that's a good way to warp a pulley or harmonic balancer real quick.

Thank you

Thank you so much! You saved my butt big time! 🙏🩵

It worked for me but I did get the 2 screwdrivers stuck between the belt and the pulley so I left them there for next time. The engine was a little noisy on startup but seems to have settled.

How to get the fan clutch off

That bearing on the water pump is fried. look at all the play at around 2:44. Can't wait to see what tricks are up her sleeve that........... Lady you..... nevermind, don't want to make a novel on everything I see wrong.

Thank you!

Thank you for showing us how to install the serpentine belt. It saves us money by learning how to do it ourselves.

The trick is get some else to do it lol!

Wow just wow.

Need new Alt - stripped 19mm tensioner nut frm replacing wtr pump month ago-used 3/4 scket & got belt off-replaced Alt & got new tensioner arm -have to Jack engine up to get only 2 tensioner bolts out- I’m in park lot at Starbucks so I want to blow up car now or find a hack to get belt on alt with old stripped nut tensioner arm and have about a nano micro area to work with!

then you scoop it up, you scoop it up.. this is now the sound playing in my head every time I buy crypto dips 🤣 on a real note I hope noone tries to put their belt on like this unless you're stranded on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere on a sunday.

Maybe we should ask the question why did it slip off to start with? Maybe that water pump hub dancing in the wind is the issue 😅 fix the water pump fix the problem or get good a putting the belt on with a screw driver lol

17mm socket and a breaker bar is all you need to turn the tensioner. It’s not a special tool. Right tool for the right job.

Thanks

That was one of the funniest things I have ever seen... and on this edition of crackhead mechanics we watch the crackhead shove a screw driver under a new belt onto a broken pulley and toasted water pump!

Damn I didn't even think of that one. I used a half inch drive wrench and a floor jack.

That's how you damage all your shit nice job not only will the belt snap off prematurely it's also dangerous👌

What a joke, no special tools she says, gotta love her

Changed the idler pulley. Tensioner pulley was okay.

Just keep a ring spanner in the car which matches the auto tensioner pulley bolt size. That way you just use that spanner to crank the tensioner loose as required whenever you like

I think you broke the top idler pulley - looks like it's missing a bit chunk.

scopitup .. way to the G-spot

Lemme try Hollup

Black bird singing in the dead of the night reggae song

Hmmmmm guess I'm in trouble huh??? Gotta do it myself awwww... just see me cry...

Best part of video 3.15

Did you used tools?

When they say I know a mechanic just fucked that mans Mercedes

Lol lol lol.. oh yes I've enjoyed the video alright.

Isee,that's how you gonna stuck in the traffic.

Scoop it up scoop it up scoop it up.... scoop scoop ......scoop it up scoop it up scoop it up .... no tools....

Plzz help Brother... How many belt size... Say now..

The real help rn would be removing belt without the tool. Putting it on is easy

As a woman learning to do her own mechanics, I fully support women in videos. But holy fxck! He needs to keep her out his videos. I don’t care, divorce her ass if ya need to. But I came into this video hoping to put my belt on, half way through I was so annoyed distracted and confused I couldn’t remember what the video was about 😂

Holy shit water pump is screwed idler pully is cracked no wonder the belt snapped omg

Good job...will try that way

no tools?

My brain hurts

Am more concerned about the people in the comments not mentioning the broken water pump pulley that is making it easy to put the belt on without a tool

Scoop it up

You're worried about a serpentine belt, when your water pump pulley is shot. Lol. Fix that with no tools

Where I come from, we call this "Nag-splaining"... oh, and corner-cutting. I usually just stop what I am doing and hand the tools to the "nag" in question and say, "fine, its so easy, go ahead, I'ma get me a beer now."

The idler pulley is chipped and the water pump is fucked, do shit the right way

That tensior looks super loose and it appears to be damaged.

Doesn't cardi B have enough money to just pay someone to fix her car tho??

My o my sure would be lovely to have that much room to work with. Holy hell. I have not even finger width room to work with. You can fit a damn bathtub in all that space.

Yeah... That's a tutorial in how to fuck it up

I think they used a tore up car for demonstration purposes maybe?

if you depress the belt tensioner, no need for tight fit

I partly disagree with all the commenters below I thought it was a great video, but I also could not get through the half of it... it's such a terrible video, "...heres the best part" 😂

Ain't your mama told ya...

You must be very experienced doing this, I can't see the belt lasting very long after being abused like that. There's only one way to do this job, that's the right way... this isn't it.

Just use the tensioner? Everyone on the planet has a socket wrench

Exactly how Mercedes intended

Yea this is great & all but my car doesn’t have that much room to maneuver a screw driver, barely even a small socket between the pulley & the wheel well/overflow. There’s no way this will work on my Camry. Sad day.

U need a another pulley broke at bottom

Put everything else good

Here's the trick

Broken water pump

Omggggggggaaaaaa shut up for a sec

oh help me lord jezus ! Where do these peeps come from??!!

SERIOUSLY! THIS IS EXACTLY HOW NOT! TO DO THIS ! WTF?

🤗

First thing I noticed was the broken plastic pulley and then prying the belt on the pulleys and then the bad waterpump and I thought OMG. The name if this video should be "This is how not to put on a serpentine belt ". Some people want the Mercedes but cant afford to have them maintained properly , so they have to do the best they can , to get by . I'm thinking that they didn't know how to loosen the tensioner ; it would have been a lot easier and then been adjusted correctly.

Probably should be Listed as an EMERGENCY FIX when you absolutely have to do it that way due to not having the right tools to do it properly.

You didn't even start the car up how we even know it work

Lmao 🤣

Not all videos are good for some people.

Woman click baited me with using no special tools yet the whole time she is using tools ..smh

What in the hell did I just watch

You said no tools

K

Seriously 🤣🤣🤣🤣

yea...I wouldnt do that

Lady, ugh, umm..............never mind.

hola china. okay? and then...
