Step 2: Locate the serpentine belt routing diagram posted near the radiator or in the owner's manual.
Step 3: Using the Â½ inch ratchet handle, insert the square peg into the belt tensioner and turn it CLOCKWISE, releasing the tension on the belt. With the belt removed, slowly release the tensioner back to its resting position.
Step 4: Using the diagram we found in Step 2, route the belt around the proper pulleys.
Step 5: With the belt in place, use the Â½ inch drive ratchet handle to turn the belt tensioner COUNTER CLOCKWISE, increasing the tension on the belt, securing its position.
NOTE: The belt should be taut, but not overly tight or stretched!
