How do you change the serpentine belt on a 2002 Honda Civic?

Answer 1

You need to loosen the tentioner by your powersteering. Once you do that there are two bolts, near tentioner and one below that once loosened will allow p/s to shift forword. I found it easier to take note of how the tentioner and bolt originally were. then taking off the the tentioner bolts and other bolts off completely. Then the p/s can be moved and the reservoir on the right can be lifted out and carefully placed aside while still connected. Once out of the way the alternator has another tentioner similar to the one on p/s. Only loosen both bolts and tentioner and

2nd belt should be able to be taken off. Then put new belt. tension the belt and once adjusted tighten bolts to secure in place. Reverse p/s assembly. Allot easier than trying to access alternate mounts. No struggle.
