There is a spring loaded belt tensioner with a pulley located below the alternator. You will need a 3/8 drive ratchet or breaker bar(breaker bar gives you more leverage). Insert the breaker bar into the square hole on tensioner and push down or counterclockwise and remove belt. If tensioner does not spring back spray it with lubricant and work it back and forth-they stick sometimes.

How do you change the serpentine belt on a 1995 gmc truck?
Make SURE that the breaker bar (3/8th NOT 1/2 inch) is long enough or you will pinch the handle or your hand when you release the tension. If you are careful, and keep control of the belt you can remove it completely over the fan blades without removing the upper radiator cover. the entire process should take 10-15 minutes. When installing the new belt, route it as the diagram on your truck indicates, but have the Alternator be the LAST pulley you slip the belt over. if not, you will have a hard time getting the belt on the tensioner and hold the tensioner all the way open. I do not have a 1995, but almost all serpentine belts have an idler pulley to keep tension. You take a breaker bar and turn the idler pulley nut releasing tension and then you can slide the belt off.

How do you replace the air conditioner belt on a 2000 gmc sierra?
1. Make sure that when you purchase a new belt, they don't try to sell you the full size serpentine belt. 2. There is a diagram of the belt routing on your truck when you lift the hood. Follow that. 3. Unfortunately, you need to remove the serpentine belt to replace the air conditioning belt.... the belt routing for the serpentine belt is also shown on the diagram. 4. To remove the serpentine belt, get a ratchet set, and crank the "self tensioning" assembly to release tension on the serpentine belt, and remove the belt. 5. There is another "self tensioning" assembly for the air conditioning belt. Crank to place the new AC belt on and release. 6. Re-install the serpentine belt. This is an easy fix... it took me less than 20 minutes, I'm not a mechanic.

How do you change a serpentine belt on a 2000 gmc pickup?
Serpentine belts use an pulley to keep tension on the belt. You need a breaker bar; attach to the tension pulley and turn the nut. One way will not move and the other way will loosen the belt. It will usually then just slide off that pulley and then come off all the rest.
How do you replace the alternator on a 2000 GMC Jimmy?
On the newer models you just need to remove the belt, disconnect the connector on the backside of the alternator, remove the two bolts and then reverse the process. You will need a ratchet to relieve the tension on the belt via the tension pulley. Always disconnect the battery first!
