Chrysler Repair: surpentine belt routing, crankshaft pulley, chrysler lebaron

Question
how does the surpentine belt route on a 1994 chrysler lebaron v6 3.0 go thanks a million if you can help

Answer
Hi Chris,
Starting at the alternator pulley and going clockwise around the path of the belt, the belt drops down and forward and goes under the idler pulley, continues forward and less steeply downward and goes around the crankshaft pulley clockwise, rises rearward going over the top or the tensioner pulley counterclockwise, then drops down and around the power steering pump clockwise and rises to go around the alternator pulley clockise which is where I started the description. To loosen the tension to remove the belt, or to give you room to install the belt without having to force it over a pulley while under tension you rotate the tensioner pulley arm around its pivot clockwise according to the '94 shop manual. It doesn't show how to effect this rotation, but in the earlier manual I have ('89) it shows there to be a 1/2" square hole in the tensioner arm into which you insert a breaker bar with a 1/2" head which gives you the temporary lever to rotate the tensioner against its spring action. I assume there is a similar set up on the '94 you are working with. Interestingly, between '89 and '94 the idler pulley was added, and the required rotation of the tension arm changed from counterclockwise to clockwise to relieve the tension. Go figure! I hope this is helpful, a picture is worth 170 words! but unfortunately I don't have a scanner.
