Is there a write up anywhere or has anyone changed their serpintine belt before? Some people told me it was hard and some said it was a no brainer.

Move the tension pulley and remove the belt. Install new belt following route of old belt (diagram should be under the hood).

Also, it's fairly easy to determine where the belt goes. If the pulley is smooth, it touches the back of the belt. If it has v-grooves (6 or 8, depends on the width of the belt), it touches the front (grooved) side of the belt.

Thanks colorado!
I was going to buy the haynes manual but they were sold out today.
Any advice on moving the tension pully? Like what tools I need?

3/8" breaker bar. May need a short extension. A ratchet with a longer handle would work, too, but isn't necessary.

Just tlaked to a freind about it and he said the same thing you did. Thanks man, gonna give it a shot tomarro.

It is done. Took longer then I though and I had to have another guy to help hold the tension pully but glad I saved the $70!
