Use a prybar to release the belt tensioner. This will allow you to slip it off. To install, you may need to remove a bolt from the alternator.
That is one way to do it but not on my 1992 Cherokee Limited 4.0 HO. The Power Steering pump was actually the the tensioner pulley. You have to loosen the base then loosen the adjusting bolt under the pump. Prybar and removing bolt from alternator would not work.
In a 94 GCL I used a 10mm(?) socket on the tensioner pully and pulled right. Slack was immediate. No need for removing anything except the belt.

∙ 18y agoThe older XJ's use the power steering pump as the tensioner. Loosen the mount bolts on the pump and you should be able to see a threaded rod that will loosen when screwed in or out (it's been awhile!). Once the belt is swapped, do the opposite.

∙ 14y agoIf the '94 is anything like my '98. In order to remove the belt there is a belt tensioner underneathe the power steering pump on the drivers side. Crack the bolt loose on the pulley of the tensioner. If you look to the right of it and behind it you will see a longer bolt, you need to use that bolt to adjust your tensioner so that it lets slack on your belt.

∙ 13y agoIf yours has a tensioner pulley, loosen the bolt at the center of the pulley slightly, then turn the tensioner bolt ( top ) clockwise, tighten the pulley when done.
If no tensioner, you will want to tighten at the power steering pump.
Loosen the top bolt on the power steering pump, and the bottom nut, both are facing toward the front, then loosen the two on the back of the pump, then turn the adjusting bolt to the desired tension on the belt, the adjusting bolt is below the pump facing the drivers side. The alternator will move when you do this.

How many gallons does the gas tank in the 2008 Jeep Grand-Cherokee hold?
My 92 Cherokee Laredo has a 20 gallon tank according to the owner's manual (and a few trips to the gas station). The Haynes Repair Manual for Jeep Cherokee - 1984 thru 2001 mentions however, that there were some with 13.5 "Standard" and 20 "Optional". both above answers are correct. What I did was run the tank down to the yellow warning light and then some, you should still have 2+ gallons in there and then fill up...............Mike The Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2001 holds about 16 gallons. My 1996 Jeep Grand Laredo will hold 21.5 gallons, coasted into gas station once and it filled to this amount.

Length , width and design Check your routing If you did not move any components ( fly wheel ???? ) then look at the belt. looks like you got to change the belt again anyway get a belt from a dealership
