Great video buddy. Struggling to remove my wife's serpentine belt in her Buick Encore. Now I got it thanks!!

My suggestion here is to spin all the pulleys and ensure all the bearings are good before installing a new belt

my typical sunday therapy video :D. Keep them coming!

Just remove the 3 bolts on top of the motor mount, and the belt will squeeze through the space, no need to remove the whole bracket unless you want to. Just saying

Yup, you got that right! Total useless pain in the ass for no reason.

I would also check the condition of all the drive pulleys while you are there. Great video!!!!!!

Great video! Very helpful!

On my 2014 Trax, you must raise the engine with your jack to get the lower half of the engine mount out to get access to the belt. It will not come otta there without lifting the engine a bunch. The Cruze has more room for it to come out. Hope this helps someone who is struggling to get it out.

Looks like a Chevy Cruze if I'm not mistaken. I heard GM is hacking that line as well as the Impala in 2020. Great quality vid as usual.

Yeah. 2011 Cruze LTZ.

Good job

But how did you get the enging to raise when you tightened the engine mount bolts. In the first part of the video you can visibly see the engine lower down as you loosen the bolt. Then when you show the reassembly portion there is like a "jump" in the video and the engine has risen as you are tightening the last bolt. Did you jack it up a bit >?

It is.

Why did you lift the car side up?

So is there any reason to lift the passenger side other than to make it easier on your back?

You have to support the engine with another jack, makes it easier to do and puts more weight on the other motor mount so there is less of a chance of things going bad

to get the hydraulic jack underneath from the front and raised without ripping through the air dam and bumper cover.

Not my cup of tea, but I still appreciate the professional video! If I recall correctly that was your mother's car and your plans were to sell it in Lue of a Subaru outback? If so I hope she enjoys it as much as the rest of us enthusiast do!
