Chevy Silverado (1997-2006)

Pull Tip: Using a 3/8 breaker bar vs. a 3/8 ratchet to pull and release the tension of the belt tensioner to remove the belt will allow for better leverage. But the 3/8 ratchet will still work.

Estimated Pull Time: 10-15 minutes

Recommended Tools

  • 15mm Socket
  • 3/8 Ratchet
