Easiest way is with a 3/8 ratchet and a short piece of pipe on the end. The tensioner is below the ac pump, pry back on tensioner to release tension and slip belt off alternator first and then remove rest of belt and put on in reverse order

Away from the serpentine belt
I need a diagram to replace the serpentine belt on my 2000 Ford Escort ZX2 DOHC. Where do I go to find this diagram specific to my car?
In the Haynes manual it explains it in detail in Ch. 10 Section 20. Although refer to www.rldassociates.com/zx2/howto/belt.htm to learn where the belt tensioner is so you can remove the belt when you get to that step. Hope this helps.
Napa has diagrams. Remove passenger side tire, and plastic shield. Belt is easy to get to now. Larry Gillespie. larry.gillespie@cox.net
No , the serpentine belt is on the outside of the engine , it is used for the engine to " drive " the accessories such as the air conditioning compressor etc. The timing belt is under the timing belt cover on the engine
