If you go to the gates belt site and put in the info on the car, it will show you or you can use the autozone website if you make a free account and put in the car information.
My echo has two belts. Not one, like shown in this diagram. This diagram doesn't work for me, or anyone else that has my belt setup with two belts. One for the AC/Alt, and one for the power steering.
Use a breaker bar to release the tension on the old belt. Remove the old belt. Use the breaker bar again to pull back the belt tensioner and install the new belt following the pattern listed on the sticker that should be on the underneath of the hood or nearby.
Did you check under the hood? There should be a decal w/ the proper routing of the belt somewhere in or around the engine compartment. If u can't find it, let me know, I'll try to get more info. countrycurt0
The only way to loosen and tighten the serpentine belt is by loosening the alternator and sliding it back or forward. There are TWO bolts that must be loosened, one above, and one below the alternator pulley. A bit of penetrating oil can make things easier.
