its very complicated but there are lots of screws an bolts that ya gotta loosen to do it. its really hard to explain but you gotta mess with it a bunch. start undoing things an experiment to figure it out. start with the bolts on the fan side there is one long one an it is key to the process. its about 5-6.5 inches long an i know that even when you do figure it out it will be a pain to tighten anyway since its in such a weird position you cant really get leverage on it to tighten. i know this don look like much help but its something you gotta be shown it don't work to be told

Cherokee 4.0 Serpentine Belt TensionerThis engine does not have an tensioner for the serpentine belt. Only the 5.2 liter and 5.9 liter engines have a tensioner. The adjustment is at the power steering pump. Just loosen the power steering pump rear mounting bolts, pivot bolt and lock nut and then loosen the power steering pump adjusting bolt. Slip the belt on and tighten the adjusting bolt until you can push the belt in about one inch midway between the A/C and alternator pulleys. Then tighten the lock nut, pivot bolt and mounting bolts and that's it.
