Eliminated the squeak from my 2005 Toyota Corolla S and was easy to put on

This belt eliminated the squeak from my 2005 Toyota Corolla S! When my car started to squeak a little, I figured I'd have to take it in for a service, but thanks to a helpful YouTube video, I was able to determine that the problem was with my serpentine belt, and that it was fairly easy to replace. I ordered this a few months ago and when it arrived I realized I didn't have the only tool I needed to get the job done: a 19mm torque wrench. After asking friends and family, none of whom had what I needed, I attempted to post my request on NextDoor's community site and within hours I was being contacted by someone who had the right tool. The wrench wasn't even used to loosen the bolts. nothing, it's only used to ease the tension on the belt. Thus, the old belt could be easily removed. Putting on the new belt was a little more difficult simply because there was very little room to work with. It took me about 15-20 minutes to wrap the strap around all the different wheels and I figured it would be quicker if a helper taught me how to hold the strap as the strap slipped off several times before I put it on everyone could lay wheels. .Once it was on I started it up and there was no squeaking. I've been driving no creak for 10 days now. I would definitely recommend this belt and can attest that it can be worn by a person with no experience in mechanics. Just make sure you have the right tools before you start. If you found my review helpful, please let me know by clicking this button below.
