SOURCE: Hi, I want to remove my worn alternator belt on my

i use a 1/2 inch leverage bar .there is a hole in the tension pully(usually the top pully) put the end of the bar in the slot and pull. you will have to hold the tension on it with the bar while you remove the belt.

the best solution is goto auto parts store and get a chilton's manual which covers all basic repairs model specific with step by step instructions and diagrams costs about $25 and get tensioner while there too. this will help you maintain and repair car with easier confidence

SOURCE: how do i release the tension on the serpentine

Here's how to get a serpentine belt on or off (You'll need to do both). It's easy and doesn't require a prybar.


On:

• Get a 14mm or 9/16" socket and a long handled ratchet or breaker bar.
• Get the belt around all the pulleys except the A/C compressor or Alternator.
• Locate the tensioner pulley. It's one of the smaller ones and is mounted on a spring loaded arm. It's job, as the name suggests, is to keep the belt tight. Get your socket on the center nut of this pulley.
• Slowly pull the ratchet toward the center of the engine. The pulley will pivot on the arm allowing you to get the belt on the final pulley.
  
• Slowly release the tension.
  
• You're done

SOURCE: replace belt tensioner on 1998 camaro v6

You'll need a socket and breaker bar to do this job easily. The socket will be of the size 9/16 to 3/4 in that range. Place the socket on the retaing bolt for the tensioner pulley and pull it towards the side that it moves easily, it will only move one way. While holding the tensioner take the serpentine belt off of the uppermost pulley with the other hand. release the tensioner and hang the belt with a piece of coathanger as not to let it slip off the remainig pulleys.Then remover the teensioner pulley retainig bolt and reverse order to replace the pulley and belt.
