Installing focus MK2 accessory belts

Featured Replies

I found this guide on fitting the dual stretch belts on the focus specifically the sigma/duratec with one belt for AC and the other for the rest  if you buy the kit from ford. I'm going to be doing this and thought this would help others. I take no credit for this guide. 

 

1, Wipe clean all of the pulleys to make sure that the accessory drive belt does not slip during installation

 

2,CAUTION: Make sure that the accessory drive belt guide tool is correctly fitted to the crankshaft pulley. The center of the accessory drive belt guide tool must be in the 12 o'clock position and the curved face is closest to the engine. Failure to follow this instruction may result in damage to the accessory drive belt during installation. Install the accessory drive belt guide tool (supplied in the parts kit) to the crankshaft pulley so that the center of the tool is at the 12 o'clock position (engine shown removed for clarity).

3,Position the accessory drive belt around the crankshaft pulley, power steering pump pulley and coolant pump pulley in the position shown (engine shown removed for clarity).

I am currently trying to replace belt now, I'm not a mechanic but have the basic knowledge and experience to atleast try and fix it myself, this post has helped and saved me hours of wasted time, I've put the repair on hold until the tool for the coolant pump arrives, of course I had to have the one without a tensioner pulley :(

were do you buy the special tool mate.

Yeah i got no tensioner pulley either lol
