How do I replace the serpentine belt

Hello jmydp1-- I hope you have some mechanical skills, jmydp1, because this task is a little more advanced than something like changing your spark plugs. If you feel you are up to the task, let me send you to a generic site that will guide you through the procedure. Go to-- http://autorepair.about.com/library/weekly/aa071205a.htm. Make sure you have the right tools and parts you need before you start. Let me know how you do. Good luck from Bovan.
