Csthomas
When I got my Riviera back in 2007 I thought that changing the belt was going to be easy like my wifes' Pontiac Firebird (2001) release tension and replace the belt right. NO the Riviera 3800 supercharger was difficult someone earlier tried to replace the belts and ruined the oil pan by jacking up the engine under the oil pan, this pan cannot hold the weight use a piece of wood with a v cut into it and jack the motor up on the vibration damper. I used a engine cherry picker and lifted the engine. Remove the passenger front wheel insert jack stands. There is a access panel behind the front passenger wheel the motor mount on the drivers side and with a torks I think a 52 a rather large one remove a large bolt and with a crowbar pry the old belt off this has to done to remove the belt and install the new one. Then replace the torx bolt and route the belt or belts use tensioneer. This was a real pain but can be done.

How do you replace the thermostat located on a 1993 Jeep Cherokee?
Looks like you have to loosen the tension on the serpentine belt first. Only one bolt is not easily accessed. If you don't loosen the belt, you have to hold the belt out the way (with tension on it) and try to get the bolt in and hold the housing up at the same time (good luck with that unless you have three hands), it can be done though. I am not much of a mechanic and it took me about 1.5 hours with the serpentine belt in place.

My suburban has a automatic tensioner therefore I need to do is take the tension off with a long wrench and slide the belt from underneath it and replace it with the new one. The tensioner is right by the water pump. If not then you will need to loosen the alternator bolt and drop the alternator to loosen the tension. Trust me manuals can be your best friend!!
