Hello,
The replacement of the serpentine belt is fairly a straight forward process.
You will need simple hand tools to complete this task.
Locate the tensioner (see diagram). Using a correct size wrench turn the tensioner clockwise to loosen the tension on the belt. Remove the belt.
Here is a helpful video:
