There is a belt tensioner that is spring loaded and it adjusts the tightness of the serp belt. The tensioner is self adjusting as the serp belt stretches out from use. You cannot adjust the belt tension yourself. If your serp belt is showing signs of cracking on the underside then you should replace it. If you suspect the belt tensioner is not putting enough tension on your serp belt then it should be replaced. I had a 1991 Corsica with the same motor and I had a belt tensioner break. This caused my serp belt to come off.

How do you adjust the tension of the serpentine belt on a 2005 Chevy Trailblazer?
The serp belt has a spring tensioner. It is not adjustable. To remove the serp belt simply put a wrench on the nut and push it inward to create slack in the belt. Then slip it off.

How do you install serpentine belt on a 1994 Chevy beretta z-26?
You have to pull the pulley up on the left side of the engine, towards the bottom of the serp. belt and then just pull it off. It helps if you start at the top of the belt and then work ur way down to the bottom. You might have to take the motor mount off to put the new belt on, I had a hard time, but I'm a girl, so that might explain the difficulties that i had. lol. Hope it helped.
