Serpentine belt removed while replacing alternator, tension -er not working properly. Will replace tension-er, but having difficulty breaking loose. Also proper routing of belt? Haynes book referenced does not show the correct routing, or even photos of the correct engine; 3.5 VTEC.
procedure in book not correct for tension-er, either. I an unsure how to even loosen tension-er to reattach the serpentine belt, as book is not correct for this engine.

The diagram shows the drive belt routing and direction of turning the auto-tension-er to loosen the belt tension.

Sorry, there are two different types and I am not sure which is the correct one for your vehicle.
