The Quick Answer: yes you will need a shorter belt

The Truth: It depends on how MUCH smaller the new pulley is.... assuming it is a serpentine-style belt (aka unibelt), there will be a spring loaded tentioner, which will take up a certain amount of slack, but not more than a few cm...

How does a quarter turn belt work?

A quarter turn belt works by transferring motion between two pulleys positioned at a 90-degree angle to each other. The belt wraps around one pulley and then travels to the second pulley, effectively changing the direction of the drive. This system is often used in machinery to allow for compact designs and to redirect power without the need for additional gears or complex setups. The design allows for efficient power transmission while maintaining a relatively simple mechanism.


How many times will a 5 cm pulley turn when attached to a 10 cm pulley?

In relation to the 10 cm pulley a 5 cm pulley has half the circumference thus will rotate on the same line or belt twice as often. circumference = 2 x pi x radius or pi x diameter, when comparing 2 circumferences the value of pi is immaterial. Thus 10cm/5cm = 2

Replacementing Timming belt in 94 olds cuttlass?

Replacing the timing belt in a 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass involves several steps. First, you need to disconnect the battery and remove any components obstructing access to the timing cover, such as the serpentine belt and crankshaft pulley. Once the timing cover is exposed, align the timing marks, remove the old belt, and install the new one, ensuring proper tension. Finally, reassemble everything in reverse order, double-checking all alignments before reconnecting the battery.

Can you show me please the tensioner pulley?

The serpentine belt runs from the crankshaft pulley to all the units that need to be turned, alternator, power steering, water pump, etc. There is one pulley that is spring loaded that keeps the correct tension on the belt. That is the tensioner pulley. That can be moved to release the tension on the belt so that the belt can be removed.
