You need to buy or rent the special tool necessary to release the tension on the belt. One of the idler pulleys will have a spring that keeps the tension on the belt. There is where you use the tool . There is a diagram under the hood that shows you how to position the belt around the various pulleys on the engine. Once you have the belt positioned correctly, you use the tool to move the spring loaded pulley far enough to allow the belt to be positioned so when you let go of the tool , the pulley will add tension to the belt.

SOURCE: how to replace a serpentine belt on a 2004

  1. Lift the car so you can work from underneath when needed.
  2. Disconnect the battery . Just to be safe.
  3. Take the serpentine belt off.
  4. Remove the alternator.
  5. Remove the A/C compressor. (You can do it without removing, but it's a royal PITA... LOL) Don't unhook the lines, just unbolt and move out of the way.
  6. Remove the worn tensioner from t he block. (You need to unbolt the pulley first to get to all the tensioner bolts)

  • Take a breaker bar or big rachet & release the tension on the automatic tensioner; very slowly
  • Loop the old belt around the pulleys & fan
  • Install new

SOURCE: do i have to disconnect motor mount to replace my drive belt

Depends on the motor. If there is a mount on the passanger side that the belt goes around then yes. Don't fret though, easy to get around. Use a jack and a piece of wood on the oil pan to support the motor so you can remove the motor mount to remove the belt. Again, this is on SOME gm motors not all. On the others the mount isn't in the way at all.

2008 Pontiac Torrent 3.4. How do I replace a fan belt on it please?

Question edited for clarity, year make model first.
Question moved to model category.

They don't call them 'fan belts' any more because the belt doesn't run the cooling fan because they are all electric. They are now called a 'serpentine belt', I guess because they wrap around all the pulleys like a serpent..

This is not an easy job on this vehicle because the belt has a fixed engine mount in the middle of it! This explains

Need help replacing a serpentine belt....any ideas

Locate the belt tensioner. There should be a place on it where you can insert a 3/8's drive, or 1/2" drive ratchet. Once you get the ratchet in position, you can remove the belt by either pushing down, or pulling up the ratchet handle.
