Ok, answered this once before....

Most modern engines have a spot where you can attach a socket wrench. It's a spring loaded wheel, usually near the top of the group. There will be a square hole where you can set the wrench. When you turn the wrench, it loosens the pressure on the belt.

Now, before you do this, take pencil and paper and draw out the belt's path. Make sure it is accurate.

Now, take the belt off by loosening the pressure and slipping the belt off the pulleys. Next, replace the new belt carefully following your drawing to get the path right. Save the pressurized wheel for last. The belt may be a bit tight to get on, but with the pressured pulley out of the way, most go on fairly easily. When you releast the pressure, the belt is in place.

First locate the belt. Then look for the pulley that does not go to any pump. The only purpose of this pulley is to put tension on the belt to hold it on. Use a screwdriver or some other object as a lever to force it down, or a socket or wrench on the nut in the center of the pulley turning in the direction you would use to remove a nut. This should push the pulley down and release the tension enough to remove the old belt (careful not to pinch your fingers) . Installation is the reverse of the removal process. Consult the diagram on the radiator support at the front of the vehicle to see how to thread the new belt through the pulleys.

First go to Auto Parts Store and give them your specs on your engine size etc. Then get a hafe inch socket wrench then look for the idler wheel on the belt system, You turn it counter clock wise, it is spring loaded, relieves the tension by swinging, out of the way. Then take off old belt noting, how it was threaded over the other pulleys. install reverse of this.

Under the hood of your vehicle, you should find a label that gives the routing procedures. Sometimes they wear off, or, for some reason are removed. If you find yourself in this position, go to your local NAPA AUTO PARTS store and purchase a HAYNES manual. Very simple procedure that requires just a few basic tools and a little common sense.
