really hard. find the right wrench and turn like your the son of zues.
Note:The drivebelt routing decal on the radiator shroud to help during drivebelt install * To replace the belt rotate the tensioner pulley clockwise to release belt tension * Remove the belt from the auxiliary components and slowly release the tensioner * Route the new belt over the various pulleys again rotating the tensioner to allow the belt to be installed then release the belt tensioner
Remove the air intake duct, if necessary. Refer to Air Cleaner Assembly Replacement in Engine Controls - 5.7 L. Install a breaker bar with hex-head socket to the drive belt tensioner bolt. Rotate the drive belt tensioner clockwise in order to relieve tension on the accessory drive belt. Remove the accessory drive belt from the pulleys and tensioner. Slowly release tension on the drive belt tensioner. Remove the breaker bar and socket from the drive belt tensioner bolt. Clean and inspect the drive belt surfaces of all the pulleys. Route the accessory drive belt around all the pulleys except the water pump pulley and tensioner. Install a breaker bar with hex-head socket to the drive belt tensioner bolt. Rotate the drive belt tensioner clockwise in order to relieve tension on the drive belt tensioner. Install the accessory drive belt under the water pump pulley. Install the accessory drive belt onto the drive belt tensioner. Slowly release the tension. Remove the breaker bar and socket from the drive belt tensioner bolt. Install the air intake duct, if necessary. Refer to Air Cleaner Assembly Replacement in Engine Controls - 5.7 L. Inspect the accessory drive belt for correct alignment.
The tensioner does not need removing. It just needs to be swung out (clockwise) of the way to reduce the tension on the belt so the belt can slip over the pulleys. The tensioner has a slot, towards its end, for a 3/8 drive in it. Place the drive into that slot and you get the leverage to overcome the tension in the spring.
Loosen the tensioner pulley. The tensioner pulley will slide to the right. This will loosen the alternator belt. So it can be removed.

Yes, there is a fuel sensor in a 2000 GMC Sierra.
If it is four wheel drive yes, a little snug. If two wheel drive, then only 31 inch tires.

Put a 3/8 inch ratchet in the tensioner and release the tension by pulling it towards you. slide the belt off the tensioner. You don't have to take it completely off. Take the bolt holding the tensioner to the engine off and take of the tensioner. To put one on it is the reverse of this.
To the left of the park brake release, just under the dash.
