This is not a job for a novice. If you don't have to do it yourself, take it to a mechanic! To access the parts the inner fender skirt needs to be removed. It is a good idea to replace the TENSIONER PULLY AND THE IDLER PULLEY as long as you are going to do so much to replace the belt. Some have reported that either or both of these parts 'went out' shortly after replacing the belt. If that happens you have to redo this all over again. The parts don't cost that much so it is wise to do it all at once.
Basically it goes like this; * Remove the Belt * Remove the Tensioner * Remove the Idler Pulley * Reverse process for installation Belt Removal
WARNING: Do not allow drive belt tensioner to snap back, as damage to drive belt tensioner or personal injury could result.
1. Remove the screws and position the Power Steering fluid reservoir out of the way. 2. Remove the nut and the bolts and position the degas bottle out of the way. 3. Lift or rotate the automatic drive belt tensioner away from the drive belt. 4. Remove the drive belt. (I had to cut my belt to remove it at this point. It is virtually impossible to get it around the tensioner without removing the tensioner.)
Tensioner Removal 1. Remove the bolt.
2. Remove the pushpins and position the inner RH fender wall out of the way.
3. Remove the drive belt tensioner.
Belt Idler Pulley Removal
1. Remove the belt; refer to Belt Removal.
2. Remove the bolt.
3. Remove the belt idler pulley.
Installation is just a matter of reversing the steps for removal.
Note: Make sure drive belt is properly installed on each pulley. Follow the removal procedure in reverse order.
