How do you change a serpentine belt on a 97 Acura CL 3.0?

Find the tensioner pulley. Use a straight wrench (I believe a 14mm) and turn the tensioner pulley bolt (the one in the middle of the pulley) counter clockwise (you may need an extension Pipe). This will release tension on the belt then slide the belt off. The tensioner pulley bolt is a reverse thread so it will not come loose when attempting to turn it counter clockwise. Slide the new belt on from the bottom up then turn the tensioner pulley counter clockwise (releasing tension) with one hand while sliding the belt over the alternator pulley (a long screwdriver wedged against the side wall can help get the belt onto the pulley) then allow the tensioner pulley to return to its normal position.

Asked in Mercury Mountaineer
When do you change the serpentine belt on a mercury mountaineer?
The serpentine belt needs to be changed when there is more than
a little bit of inter-groove cracking, or the backing is damaged.
Consult your owner's manual for specific maintenance
recommendations. Alternatively, you can ask your vehicle inspection
station or mechanic what the specific mandated requirements
are.
If you can change it yourself, and do it correctly, that is a
good idea, because most shops will charge $100 to $150 for a part
that costs $30 at a parts store and can take...

Checking ribbed drive belts at every oil change, and the
position of the self-adjusting mechanism indicator, will insure you
catch a bad belt long before it snaps.
The backside of the serpentine drive belt, or the smooth side,
usually drives the water pump. If the serpentine belt gets oil
soaked or glazed, it will slip and not provide the proper
circulation to keep the engine cool. And if there is oil on the
serpentine belt, it's coming from somewhere so you will...

Ok, you were probably referring to the serpentine belt. I went
to the Autoparts Warehouse website and looked up the belt for the 6
cylinder engine. The price is about $17 for two brands (on sale) up
to about $30 for a brand name. Pricing should be about the same at
your local auto parts store.

The auto parts store will have a tool for rent/deposit that has
a bar with a socket end. Really, all you will need is the bar.
There will be a serpentine belt diagram buried under grime on the
alternator mount. Use that as a guide for the new belt. The
tensioner is the wheel in the middle, surrounded by the other
wheels. After you figure out the belt position, stick the end of
the bar against the tensioner wheel and position...
