Follow the given steps to replace the serpentine belt on your Cadillac Seville:

1) Pop the hood and locate the tensioner, which is just below the top pulley, and has a square drive hole at the end of it.

2) Insert the 1/2-inch breaker bar into the square hole on the tensioner. Pull the tensioner clockwise to release tension on the belt, then slip the belt away from all of the pulleys.

3) Slide the replacement belt over the Power Steering pump pulley at the top of the engine. Then route it down and around the generator, air conditioning compressor, and idler pulley as far as you can get the belt around the system until it tightens up too much. Make sure to refer to the manual or sticker for proper routing as well.

4) Insert the 1/2-inch breaker bar into the square hole on the tensioner. Pull the tensioner clockwise to release tension on the belt, then slip the belt away from all of the pulleys. Route the belt behind the tensioner, and after you release it to tighten the belt, check to make sure the belt isn't kinked or twisted. If it is, pull the tensioner away to fix the problem.
