Does anyone have a picture of how the 2001/2002 belt routes on the V6? There was a picture posted up a while back but I can't seem to find it.

thats the early style. the newer ones have the tensioner more over the top of the crank
My pic is an 02 escape front cover. exactly the same as my 01 2.5.
the 99/00s have the tensioner on the left side of the cover towards the back of the engine compartment

Thanks for the picture. That's what I figured the routing was but I thought it would be good to verify.
FYI the 2001-2002 belt size is: 82.5" and the 1999-2000 belt size is: 71.5".

And you can really squeeze the belt between the tensioner pulley and engine block without removing the tensioner? It's a damn tight fit especially in the car!

Of course you can. I don't think I've ever removed a tensioner to pull or install a belt. :tongue:

yeah you have to turn the belt sideways and its easy after that.
