Hello,

The replacement of the serpentine belt is fairly a straight forward process.
You will need simple hand tools to complete this task.

Locate the tensioner (see diagram). Using a correct size wrench turn the tensioner clockwise to loosen the tension on the belt. Remove the belt.

Here is a helpful video:

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
