How do you replace the belts on a 1996 dodge avenger?
The belts are located on the passanger side of the car. The way the belts keep tension are by bolts. It's a squeeze to get your hand down in there, and I think I used a ratchet with an extension. Although the belt may not loosen right away after you lossen it up, this is how to loosen them. You might ave to push on the belt and the tension location. FYI the serpetine belt is on the inside, so to replace it you have to take BOTH belts off to replace the one. I know, it sucks. ETA for serpetine replacement is prob 25-45 minutes give or take if its rusted or not.

Put you car on jack stands, remove the right wheel. Loosen the tension pulley for the accessory belt (AC, alternator). Remove the belt. Loosen the tension pulley for the power steering, remove the belt. Install a new belt, and set proper tension. If you do not have a tool to measure tension, use rule of thumb. When the belt is under proper tension you should be able to twist only 3/4 of full twist. Do the same for the accessory belt.

How do you replace the alternator belt in a 1991 Saab 900?
Just slightly different than on lesser cars: Saabs have two alternator belts that run in parallel. This belt pair also drives the water pump, so they wanted to be sure you wouldn't get stranded. But it's pretty easy: your alternator runs on an adjustment track. Loosen both bolts and pivot the alternator so you can get the belts off. Look how they're routed before you remove them. If you have AC the belt for that is blocking in your alternator belts, so loosen the compressor and take it off. Then put the new belts you bought in place, tension the alternator (I stick a broomstick between the alternator and engine, and pry the belts tight), tighten both bolts, tension the AC compressor and tighten it, and you're done.
