Hello,

Take a look at this guide, it covers the belt replacement procedure including how to use the tensioner tool.

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/replace-serpentine-belt
https://www.2carpros.com/articles/how-a-serpentine-belt-tensioner-works

I have attached the belt routing diagram and the replacement procedure below for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Note: Since the engine size/type was not selected I have provided instructions for the most common engine type 3.0L OHV. If it is a different engine, please let me know.

Thank you.
