AC Stretch Belt N52

Tewie · 10-28-2018, 08:03 PM

This AC belt that goes from the crank to one small pulley snapped on my wife's E70 3.0si (N52) and I can't get a new one on there for the life of me. The length of the new belt I have matches up with the old belt.

How do you get the belt on there?!

Did you buy the tool? If not that’s likely your problem

Not sure exactly what tool you are referring to. I tried 3 different stretch belt installation tools available at local auto stores with no luck. I'm guessing there's a BMW specific one but I don't want to order the wrong one.
