Good evening. How do I replace the fan belt? Can you tell me step by step how to do so? Be sure to send images if you can please. Just wondering, do I have to remove the water pump in order to replace the fan belt? Thank you for speedy response.

They are both V6 engines. See if you have a engine tag under the hood. That will tell you the engine size.

Upload a picture if you can of the engine.
