Thanks for holding, Michael. Replacing the serpentine belt on this vehicle isn't that bad of a DIY'er job. You will need a long-handle box wrench. The longer the handle, the more leverage, the easier to rotate the belt tensioner. Set a long-handled, boxed-end wrench on the drive belt auto-tensioner from above the engine. Slowly turn the wrench in a counter clockwise direction, then remove the drive belt. I've wrapped up a small PDF file with the procedure. You can download that file here: <u><strong><a href="https://bit.ly/2Nz4Irb" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://bit.ly/2Nz4Irb</a></strong></u>
