To remove the drive belt idler pulley in a Chevrolet Captiva, start by ensuring the engine is turned off and cool for safety. Begin by disconnecting the negative battery cable to prevent any accidental starts or electrical issues. Locate the drive belt idler pulley within the engine compartment, typically mounted on a bracket near the front of the engine.

After installing the new idler pulley, reattach the drive belt onto the idler pulley and tensioner pulley according to the belt routing diagram in our Chevrolet Captiva owner's manual. Finally, reconnect the negative battery cable and start the engine to verify the proper operation of the drive belt and idler pulley.

Always refer to the specific instructions and diagrams in your Chevrolet Captiva's service manual or owner's manual for accurate and vehicle-specific guidance on drive belt idler pulley removal and replacement.
