The instructions are below. Also, there will be a diagram for the routing.
Before you begin, visually confirm the belt routing to the engine compartment
label (if present) or to the appropriate diagram in this section (if the label
is not present). If you cannot make a match (perhaps it is not the original
motor for this vehicle), scribble your own diagram before proceeding.
Disconnect the negative battery cable for safety.
Install the appropriate sized breaker bar, wrench, or socket to the tensioner
arm or pulley, as applicable.
Rotate the tensioner to the left (counterclockwise) and slip the belt from
the tensioner pulley.
Once the belt is free from the tensioner, CAREFULLY rotate the tensioner back
into position. DO NOT allow the tensioner to suddenly snap into place or damage
could occur to the assembly.
Slip the belt from the remaining pulleys (this can get difficult is there is
little room between the radiator/fan assembly and the accessory pulleys. Work
slowly and be patient.
Once the belt is free, remove it from the engine compartment.
To install:
Route the belt over all the pulleys except the water pump and/or the
tensioner. Refer to the routing illustration that you identified as a match
before beginning.
Rotate the tensioner pulley to the left (counterclockwise) and hold it while
you finish slipping the belt into position. Slowly allow the tensioner into
contact with the belt.
Check to see if the correct V-groove tracking is around each pulley.
