Chrysler Repair: 96 T&C 3.8L: serpentine belt removal, serpintine belt, splash shield

Question
how do i remove the serpintine belt tentioner from the engine to install the new one?????

Answer
Hi Anthony,
The removal/replacement is facilitated by jacking up the right front side, removing the wheel, and removing the splash shield panel at the back of the wheel housing which keeps water from splashing on the belts when going through puddles. Then you will have good access to the tensioner arm/pulley, which if you put a wrench or socket/ratchet on the pulley shaft bolt and then lever the tensioner arm clockwise will release the tension on the serpentive belt for removal. Install similarly.
