Great video buddy, I was about to set my fiance's fiesta on fire and the vise grips did the trick
Ty I was stuck on the side of the road with my boss next to me helping me, and the vice grip trick worked wonders
Going to get some clamps asap and pray this works. Tried the Lisle tool no luck. Tried putting the belt in a jar of boiling water to loosen it. It's not even close nor is this belt "elastic" or stretchy whatsoever. Someone mentioned loosening the top pulley which I believe is for the alternator.
Ya as far as i know these aren't the stretch fit. This by far the quickest method an can be done within or less the 5 minutes
Great video very informative 👏
Thanks man this helped me out a lot with this POS fiesta I had to do this to.
No problem man not really any other videos out there that show you how todo it without buying that $60 1 time fucking tool lol
Not a mechanic but handy enough to do most of my own maintenance. Daughter threw a belt on her '14 Fiesta. Fought with the belt for an hour. Called experienced techs, watched 5 or 6 vids before yours. BUT you had the most practical advice hands down. I think I made one improvement to your method. Instead of a $13 pair of 5" vice grips I used a pair of $2 1" C-clamps. One to hold the belt on the flywheel the other for the smooth pulley (which I didn't need). It took longer to get the wheel back on the car than to use your method for the belt!
Tyler Nankivell I’m literally a mechanic for Chrysler haha and I came across this and I was like well hell, now what?! This literally got the job done in no time. You’re a genius my guy! I’ll definitely use this method again in the future! Thanks bro.
Tyler Nankivell thanks again man. Great video. Saved me so much time and money on that tool! I’m a mechanic for Chrysler and this helped me out a lot. I appreciate it and it’s definitely the best video out there when it comes to this.! Only helpful one I found
@@tracdfar ya I was going to use clamps too but I left them at home an didnt want to go back haha so glad it helped
Thank you
Make it easier use (you’ll love this) a zip tie!!!!!makes it super super easy
Was going to but if you look doesn't go through Solid pulley
@@geometro9769 it does it’s not easy to find but there is a couple spots there
Do you have to put engine or transmission in nuetral
Nope not at all park works fine
Is this a 5 speed?
Can't remember got rid of that colorful pile of moving garbage lol
No tensioner? Damnit
Nope its a stretch belt an it can be a pain. Can either buy the *special* 1 time use tool or do this lol
Dont u gotta worry about bending the pulley?
Nope same way as if you use the special tool
