How to install or replace the serpentine belt on a Ford Focus, 2nd generation. – VOTD

Serpentine belt replacement: 15 to 30 minutes. (

Hello Robert, I have a 2011 Focus SE and after replacing thermostat the power steering pump started whining? Now during cool weather it makes the noise but when it's warm it is quiet? Thanks for the video

Harbor Freight sells a belt tensioner tool that is worth every penny.

I saw a video where a drill bit was used to hold the tensioner open by inserting it into a hole at the bottom of the tensioner housing allowing both hands to be free.

That looked and sounded like a struggle, i've been there too.
it's just awkward when cramped up under a car, small cars with filters in silly places can be a swearing experence lol.

Julie Carneiro says:

You’re not cheating by using another wrench – that’s just clever! Another informative video. Thanks Robert!

Couch says:

At the 2:00 minute mark; that's generally when I swear.

I wish could do that on my car. You made it look fairly easy.
