Suggested Repair
Use a 3/8-drive ratchet on the belt tensioner on the left side of the engine, below the alternator. Push the tensioner toward the driver side, slip the serpentine belt off the alternator, and reinstall the belt.
Conversation Summary
The owner of a 2001 Chevrolet Blazer with a 4.3L engine and air conditioning asked how to replace the serpentine belt at about 60,000 miles. The expert said the tensioner is on the left side below the alternator, takes a 3/8-drive ratchet, and should be pushed toward the driver side so the belt can be slipped off the alternator and reinstalled.
