Best Answer

Don't forget to remove the right front motor mount on this model.

First - make sure the diagram to reinstall it is still on the car or draw a real good diagram of the belt route. You need a socket wrench and vertical breaking bar connected to the idler pully (same as: spring tension pully) mounting bolt. Push the top of the breaking bar towards the back of the car to release the tension and remove the belt from the alternator with your left hand. (Be careful not to slip the socket and snag your fingers between the belt and pully.) You can now remove belt and install the new belt. When you have it routed correctly the last slack portion of the belt will be in your left hand and you must again push back on the breaking bar to give enough slack to place it over the alternator pully.
