How do you replace a serpentine belt in a 1996 Pontiac Sunfire SE 2.2L Do you need a special tension wrench or is there another way to take it off?

You can borrow a serp. belt tool from autozone, but you can also get by with a 15mm wrench. (use the open end--closed end wrench won't fit.) Just turn the bolt on the tension pulley to the right as you are pushing down & the whole pulley will move down & release the tension. (The tension pulley is the smooth surfaced pulley located to the left & down from the alternator & up & left of the water pump) To put it back on, have the belt in place on the other pulleys & take up any slack. Then do the same thing as above & slide the belt back over the tension pulley. If you have someone there to help you, you can also put the belt around all the pulleys except the one on the alternator and have your helper slip the belt over the alt. pulley as you are taking the tension off. Oh, and before you start, be sure to make a diagram of how the belt goes around the pulleys.
