Replace serpentine belt on 1999 Dodge Intrepid, 1999 dodge


Looking to save some money, need to bad.  How do I go about replacing the serpentine belt on my 1999 Dodge Intrepid?

Answer
    If you look around under the hood, you'll see a diagram of the belt's routing around the pulleys.  One of the pulleys is a spring-loaded idler.  String the new belt into place, making sure that it is in its groove on each pulley.  Some of the smooth pulleys will have little raised edges to keep the belt in place, but some of them don't.  You can check yourself by making sure that the grooved side of the belt is always on grooved pulleys and the smooth side always on smooth pulleys.  There are no exceptions to this rule.  When the belt is strung, take a wrench with a fairly long handle and pry back the spring-loaded idler until the belt can be slipped in place.  Double check everything, then start the engine and make sure that everything works properly.  And, you're done.  It's really not at all complicated, it just looks so.  The diagram of the pulleys is important if the belt came off on its own, but all cars have one under the hood somewhere.
