Video tutorial

In this video, see how to change the serpentine belt on a Ford B-Max. The YouTuber recommends using a special tool for the removal/installation of the belt, which you can find on Amazon with code B07HSB22ST for £36.02, with free delivery for Prime customers.

Lift the vehicle on the front right side.

From inside the wheel arch, remove a plastic cover to access the belt; it is not necessary to remove the wheel. It is advisable to draw a diagram of the belt routing before removing it, to ensure correct reinstallation.

Position the tool for removal and turn the key clockwise until the belt comes off. Fit the new belt starting from the alternator, and when you reach the water pump, switch the tool to the 'installation' side, and by turning the key clockwise, the tool will help load the belt onto the pulley.

Close the access panel and lower the vehicle back to the ground.
