RE: Replacing the serpentine belt
Nothing special you need to know. Just follow the belt routing diagram when you put it back on. It may take a bit to keep it on all the accessories before you put tension back on the belt, but don't get frustrated with it

while your at it check your belt tensioners for any rough spots when they are rotated... Also you may want to check the actual belt tentioner to ensure it is moving freely. I squirted mine with some wd-40 to keep it loose... there are probably better lubricants than that though... I think it would be gone quickly.

RE: Replacing the serpentine belt
it was intended for the spring and the parts that they are in contact with. my spring was sticking so I had to pull the belt back tight after the install. once I sprayed it, it moved much easier and returned to where it should be on it's own.
