How to Replace the Serpentine Belt on the 2002 Ford Escort
Advance Auto Parts - Down for Maintenance
Asked by Wiki User. Okay, this can be a BIG pain in the butt, but not if you do it right. It took me all day to tell that the belt was slightly offset on one of the lower pulleys. This was the only thing holding me back, but I'll walk you through from step one. Step one is Take out the reservoir for the radiator.
The Ford Escort comes with a serpentine belt that routes around each front engine accessory. The serpentine belt controls all the engine accessories at the same time from the same belt. When the motor is running, the belt is driven around the accessory pulleys by the crankshaft. The belt is tensioned to the front of the engine by a belt tensioner device that keeps the proper amount of tension on the belt at all times. Replace the belt if there is excessive cracking or fraying present.
