hi what is the easiest way to go about changing my serpentine belt? remove the tire and get it from the passenger side inner fender?

 

Take off tire remove as much of the plastic fenderwell as you want the more the easier and get an extra set of hands with two people its pretty easy but you gotta have the right tool or a thin ratchet its tight around the tensioner when you go to loosen it

 

Serpentine belt tool is almost a requirement, it's really tight in there.

 

ok guys thanks alot im assuming i can rent the tool at autozone? Is there a video or a how to ? I searched and came up dry

 

Tool should be available at vatozone
Basically your just gonna put the tool on the tensioner and turn it to release the pressure on the belt then pop it of one pulley
To put back on the second person really helps you need to be able to slip it over and under the pullies and release the tension on the tensioner at the same time then it will slide right back on I couldn't do it by myself
Once you get the tire off and some the plastic out of the way you will really be able to see what you're looking at

 

What I do is use the tensioner tool from the top and reach down to guide the belts on from the bottom/wheel well. If you have room under the car, like it's on a lift or really high jacked up it;s easy from the bottom but you usually will have to go at it from both sides if you aren't well travelled in this mechanical stuff.

 

I didn't remove any plastics, made it harder but not impossible.
