There is a diagram showing the correct routing of the belt under the hood. Insert a 3/8" ratchet into the square hole on the tensioner pulley arm and turn. Its spring-loaded and will snap back in place when you let off of it so prepare for that or you may get whacked. When you have the tension off the belt it will slip off the pulley allowing you to remove it from the rest of the pulleys. When you route the new belt start by fishing it over the fan and save the tensioner pulley for last and use the ratchet again to pull the tensioner pulley arm back to remount the belt onto the pulley.


If you agree that the answer I provided is correct please remember to "accept" and/or mark it as "helpful" so I know I'm doing a good job. Thank you, I would really appreciate it.
