First note the route of the belt. make a drawing.
Adjustments are made by moving the power steering pump. far right of belt system.
loosen top fixed bolt above center of drive wheel on p/s pump.
loosen bolt below drive wheel on p/s pump.
Push p/s pump to the left to loosen belt.
Remove old belt .replace following route of your drawing.
move p/s pump to right .
top of belt should have 1/2 inch deflection.

Replacing serpentine accessory belt. Is it necessary to remove motor mounting brace to remove and install new serpentine belt?

From my understanding I think you have to remove the motor mount and mount the engine to remove it because I have been asking different mechanics about the serpintine belt on my 1998 Buick Lasabre.

Serpentine belt

depending on the shop a serpintine belt replacement on your vehicle will run about $50 - $100 in labor alone. the belt uses the power of the engine to run accessory systems like your air conditioning, powersteering. and vital systems like running the alternator to charge your battery and turn the water pump to circulate coolant/antifreeze in the cooling system. typically on a corrolla a belt will last roughly 50,000 miles before it starts showing signs or wear which are cracking and squealing, if you dont replace it the cracks will get worse over time until the belt eventually breaks. which to be honest takes a very long time.

91 Jeep Cherokee Loredo/serpintine belt travels and shreds inside part of belt! Has new water pump and idle pulley(had a new belt!).

Possibly who ever replaced the water pump did not line up one of the pulleys or an idler correctly. If it is not spaced correctly the serpentine belt will not follow the grooves in the pulley. This will cause the belt to jump out of the grooves and jump track and rub on the pulley and shred it within a few minutes or seconds depending on how badly it is misaligned.Check the alignment on the pulleys and the routing path of the belt. Both must be correct in order to work properly.
