Well since there does not seem to be one of these I will start a thread. I had a 1963 Olds F-85 coupe a billion years ago which was the last car I owned that I worked on at all.

Here is a poor video of my current engine at idle, I was hoping you could hear the chirping but you can not.

Here is the part from O'Reilly which has it in stock near my location.

I will add pics and further description after I finish. That is if I don't blow up in the process.

OK - Just finished replacing the Pulley, Lucky for all of you I made plenty of mistakes from you to learn from. For the experianced mechanics here I should provide plenty of commic relief.

I watched a video on youtube of some one replacing belts that sent me a little in the wrong direction right from the start. In this first picture you see that I am loosening the mounting nut for the pulley, my first mistake . This nut is of course the same way you relieve tension from the belts.


Here is the bolt and dust cover. The gates replacement indicated that you did not need a dust cover and to check operation if you choose to use one. I used it and there is plenty of clearance.



This is what it looks like with the bolt and dustcover off:



I was able to push the tensioner over enough to allow me to slide off and put on a new pulley with the belt in place. This would have been easier of course if I just dropped the belt put on the pulley and then used the mounting bolt to relieve the tension and rerun the belt.

Here is the completed repair:


The sad ending to the story is that my chirping is still there, it must be the SC connector. Not sure if I will attempt that myself or buy the part and have the AC/Delco mechanic in town do it.

your chirping might not be the SC, it might be the alternator bearing.

Please consider slipping the belts off, both of them, then turning all the pullies by hand. Slowly so you can feel if there is any grittiness or binding - sure sign of a going-bad pulley or device (alternator for instance). Whether or not you find a gritty one, next thing to do is as much as you can, turn the pullies fast.

I suspect you will find the chirper. You may find the chirping is the belt itelf, although it's not usually the case that the ribbed serpentine belts make that kind of self-noise. I had one once that did, turned out the belt had become glazed. Go figure.

Good luck.
