How do I get the serpentine belt off since there is very little space between the belt tensioner and the sub frame?

Hello,

In order to remove the drive belt on this vehicle you will have to raise the and secure it with jack stands. Then remove the engine splash shield. Then you will be able to access it with relative ease as you will have more room in the bottom to work with.
This can be done using simple hand tools.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
