To relieve the tensioner, you have to get a wrench onto the tensioner arm and temporarily pull the arm away from the belt. The spring on the tensioner is a hoss. You'll need a cheater (extension) because you can't get enough leverage on a standard wrench or socket. There's almost no room to move the wrench handle. The whole job is a no-brainer. I spent more time digging for the wrench and cheater than I spent fiddling with the belt. Once you get the right wrench and cheater, it takes 5 minutes to swap belts.

^^^Thanks Blackcreek. Great write-up -- especially for folks like me who don't know much about fixing cars (yet).

I rented a tool at AutoZone for replacing serpentine belt. It makes everything sooooooo easy.

The hardest part is getting the routing correct. Take a photo before you take the old one off. This job is literally easier than changing the oil. 10 minutes tops including getting out and putting away your tools.

Replaced it with no problems. Took longer to get the tools together. I recommend using a breaker bar. Thanks for the help.
