Easy job on those vehicles. Usually need a wrench that fits over the belt tensioner, and you raise or lower it, taking tension off the belt. then just slip it off the nearest pulley-often the alternator pulley. Now you can let go of the tensioner and remove belt. Notice how it is fit. There should be a diagram on a sticker of how the belt fits on.
for the most part there is a diagram under the hood but give this website a try drive belt diagram www.webcrawler.com wish you the best of luck Michigan Man.
My sincere apologies for the delayed response. I am personally going back to answer your unanswered questions. I have only been a free contributor to this site for the past 4-months.
I do not know if you still need this information, but I am going ahead and answering it anyway.
CLICKon the following LINK. It has several Belt Diagrams, one which will match your specific engine and options (AC/No AC, Power Steering, .etc) that you will need.
Regarding HOW: Standard Rule to Removal the Serpentine Belt: 1. Find the Tensioner(s). (See the Diagrams on Link) 2. Using a Serpentine Belt Tensioner Tool or Wrench or Ratchet Tool: Rotate/Move the Tensioner Pulley/Arm away from contact with the belt and towards the area where the belt is not in contact with the Tensioner Pulley. The Tensioner is spring loaded, and is hard to rotate/move. 3. Remove the loosened belt off one of the other more easily accessed Pulleys. Standard Rules for Installing the Serpentine Belt: a. Pick a Pulley that is most easily accessed. This will usually be on top. This will be the last Pulley that the belt will go on. b. Using the Diagram: Install the new Serpentine Belt on the remainder of the Pulleys....over, under, left right etc. c. Using a Serpentine Belt Tensioner Tool or Wrench or Ratchet Tool: Rotate/Move the Tensioner Pulley/Arm "away" from Belt contact area on the Tensioner. This spring is pretty hard and with a new belt, it will be even harder to install. Rotate/Move this to as-close to the maximum ("open") allowed inorder to have enough slack in the belt to get it up and over the last pulley. d. While keeping the Tensioner Pulley/Arm "open" Using your other hand - Pull the Belt up and over the Last remaining Pulley. e. Before releasing the pressure on the Tensioner, visually inspect the remainder Pulleys and the Belts' Positioning on them. As you can see in the last Diagram on this Link: there are three (3) Bolts for the FAN Belt that must be loosened inorder to successfully remove this Belt
Let me know if this helped... Again my apologies..
Should be a belt diagram under the hood or ontop of the radiator shroud. As for how to put it on usually either the alternator has a tension screw (meaning the aternator pulle is used to tighten the belt (one side of the alternator is hinged and the other side has an adjustment)
The other type is an auto tensioner where one of the pulley as a spring ion it that tensions against the belt. IN this case youwill need to use a wrench to pull the pulley back to slip the belt over the pulley
pLease note that is is one or the other for the configuraation (not both)
Hey Andy a quick was to solve your problem is to locate a similar vehicle in a car yard, go have a look at the configuration and draw your self a quick diagram whilst your there.
There is a diagram under the hood showing how
the belt fits over all those pulleys. It's either on the
hood itself or on the chassis near the hood pin release pin.

Thanks for the Help!!
