Replacing the belt is quite simple. You will need a 1/2" drive breaker bar. Find the belt tensioner which is aluminum in color. It eill have a 1/2" square hole in it. Place the breaker bar in it and push towards the left to release tension on the belt then remove belt while holding the bar. Install is reverse of removal try to take note as to how the belt is routed over the pulleys.(there should be a diagram under the hood showing the belt routing)

How do I replace a 1995 Pajero fanbelt?
If you mean the multi rib serpentine belt then you must loosen the center lock bolt on the tensioner and turn the adjuster bolt (accessible from underneath after splash-plate removed) until the belt gets loose enough to slip off of the Alternator pully. Then work it off the water pump etc. Note that you may have to remove the power steering and/or AC belt(s) first to get the serpentine belt fully off and back on. You can slip the belt into the gap between any two fan blades and then turn the fan to "cut" the belt out from behind it. Install using the reverse of that technique. Note : make sure the new belt has the same number of ribs on it that the old belt had. When you retension the serpentine belt you must first snug the center lock bolt down lightly, then back it off 1/4 turn, before adjusting the tensioner bolt (otherwise, the final tightening of a very loose lock bolt will cause the tensioning pully to move even further and ruin your adjustment). The serpentine belt should be retensioned after a few hundred miles and should be tight enough to prevent any slippage/noise from the Alternator pully immediately after startup. Good luck.
