Make a diagram of how the belt runs.. sometimes there is a diagram on the crossmember already, just insure it is correct.
Place a 3/8 wrench on the tensioner and move it clockwise to release the tension. Remove the belt.
To replace the belt, route the belt around all but one easy to reach pulley. use the 3/8 wrench to move the tensioner and slide the belt over the last pulley.
Don't forget to disconnect the battery before working on that alternator!

15mm socket on the tensioner pulley bolt.
Rotate the pulley arm to the left, holding the tension, slip the belt off the alternator and carefully release the tensioner.
It will move quite a ways farther than it was originaly. But it WILL stop.

ok&N filters are super air filters, and in my opinion, their appropriate high quality is which you will save cleansing them for years and years. ok&N says they are going to flow a million million miles!! As to their capability claims, study them heavily! maximum of their claims are on an engine on a dyno, and you in basic terms earnings hp on the better end of the rev spectrum, in many cases above 5000 rpm. no person drives at this rpm--till you're a race motor vehicle motive force. in case you have an motor vehicle transmission, it wont even enable youcontinual at this rpm till you manually shift it into first or 2nd. seem at your tach--maximum freeway driving is at around 2200 rpm! those days, maximum gas and air transport structures are laptop controlled; if the mass air bypass sensor alerts greater air coming in, the laptop compenates for it, so i individually don't think quite some the overall performance hype approximately ok&N filters. In older, carbuerated automobiles they are going to supply greater effective air bypass, yet whilst the laptop calls the photos, they do no longer fairly help in my opinion. AS to mileage, it is going to likely be the comparable as your in many cases going on air filter out:good whilst that's sparkling, and undesirable whilst that's grimy. i think of that's rather well worth the 40-50 money for it in basic terms for the incontrovertible fact which you will sparkling, oil and reuse it maximum of cases. i'm hoping this helps.

The tensioner will have to be partially rotated to slip off belt. Whatever way you unload it ,it's up to you.
