I know this is a very basic and probably stupic question but what is the easiest way to replace the serpentine belt on my wifes 05 Grand Caravan. I believe it has a 3.8l. Im sure i might need to remove the air box. What about going through the wheel well? It looks very tight in their.
Thanks for any suggestions.

You willneed to do both take the bottom cover off and turn the wheel to the left and it will give you access to the bottom pulleys so you can loop around the crank shaft, a/c and maybe the water pump and the rest from the top, the tensioner idler ect..

 

How do you replace the entire tensioner assembly - it has a stud bolt on it that attaches via a 15mm nut but I cannot reach this nut......

Again..the tensioner and its pulley are one unit and this assembly has a stud to attach it to the car....

Has anyone replaced this unit so advise me...
