The drive pulley for the fan, a/c, alt., water pump belt, I belive a 12 or 13mm wrench on the pulley for the tensioner and pull it so the tension is removed from the belt. Easily done if you remove the passenger side tire, and the two screws on the plastic shield covering the engine near the oil filter, in the wheelwell. Have fun, contours give me a headache!!

How do you take the tension off of the serpentine belt on a 1996 Chevy Corsica?
On my 94, the tension bar is between the passenger wheel well and the motor, towards the bottom. Use a wrench to lift the tension bar, and the belt should loosen up. On my 95 Corsica 2.2 4cyl, the tension pulley is DOWN and to the LEFT of the alternator pulley. The space in between the bolt on the pulley and the side of the engine compartment is to small for a socket. I used a box wrench and turned CLOCKWISE.

How do I change the serpentine belt on a 1996 Skylark?
There should be a tension pulley that keeps the belt tight. I have used a ratchet socket to release the tension. The belt can then be slipped off the pulley. Be sure to note the way the belt is wrapped around the various pulleys before doing this. It can be confusing to figure this out afterwards.
How do you replace idler pulley 1996 ranger 3.0?
The bolt on the idler pull loosens the normal direction, lefty loosey on the ford ranger 3.0 engine. If you look lower, you'll notice the tension pulley. You can tell it's the tension pulley by the pivoter arm that it's bolted to. Take the proper size wrench or socket, and turn clockwise as if you were to tighten it. It takes a little bit of force, but the whole arm assembly should turn down taking tension off the belt. You can then slide the serpentine off of the idler pulley and remove the pulley.
