How do i put a Serpentine belt on a ZD 30
Route the belt thru the A/C , Crank, Alt and Power Steering as best you can then back off the tensioner and slide the belt under the tensioner pully.
A socket breaker bar is usually the best tool to 'unload' the tension so you can get the belt on.
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

I use a ring spanner on the tensioner and then use a ratchet strap that fits its hook into the other end of the ring spanner. The opposite end of the strap is wrapped around the passenger wheel. That way I can open the tensioner, lay under the Patrol and then easily move the belt into position.

Use the nut in the center of the tension pully arm, not the nut that bolts it to the engine. It is a different size. Put tension on it and hold it for a few seconds and wait for the tensioner to 'give'. Its not an instant response.
And, make sure the belt is aligned correctly on all pullies before you start the car. Best to go with gravity and set the ones at the top first.

G'day all,
looks like I may be up for a new belt on mine fairly soon, (08 CRD).
I thought you had to remove the radiator shroud with all the fritzing around that involves to get at it.
Not so?????
Also thought it was necessary to keep tension on the tensioner spanner/socket while doing the replacement, inferring a bit of danger if it slipped.
Not so?????
I've got a pit so access underneath isn't a prob.
Cheers,
Col.

From memory I did it with just the lower section removed from the shroud.
I did remove the complete shroud when I replaced the radiator, it wasn't that hard to do, changing the belt when the radiator is out was easy.

Are you sure about that?

From my recollection it goes on the same way you take it off. Lol
