i belive u can use a helf inch wratcheck or breaker bar, look on the tensioner there should be a square whole, if not use a socke the fts the bolt on the tensioner pulley, it will only goe one way to relives the tension one which direction relives the belt tension WOW... If you are looking at your engine from the front of the vehicle, you will notice on the left (passenger) side there is a small pulley (about 2.5in diameter) on an arm. if you have the engine running, you will probably see that it moves slightly. On the arm between the pulley, and the mounting bolt for this assemblt, there is a small square hole that is the perfect size for a 3/8 in socket wrench, or breaker bar. Insert your socket wrench, or breaker bar, and pivot counter clockwise. This may be difficult, if you are having trouble, try with something longer for more leverage, or slip a metal pipe (longer than your wrench) over the end of your wrench to provide more leverage. This will loosen the belt tension, and you should be able to remove it. NOTE: If your belt routing sticker is not in good shape, you may want to draw the route yourself before removing the belt.

How do you replace the serpentine belt on a 1995 Chevy Tahoe?

When you look down to the engine from the front of the vehicle, you should notice that one and only one of the pulleys appears to be on an arm of sorts- this is the tensioner. If you look at the tensioner, you will notice a square hole. If you put a rachet, or breaker bar into it, you can move it and losen the belt. then remove it, and replace it. If your sticker showing how it is to be run is faded, or otherwise illegible, then you should take note of the way that it runs before removing the belt.
