A little helpful hint for anyone doing there serpentine belt-
When you go to release the tension on the belt with a 1/2 inch extension there is a small hole on the backside of the tensioner where you can put a small allen wrench to hold the tensioner in a "relaxed" position.
This way you don't have to hold the tensioner when you are trying to put on the new belt.
This might be in the haynes manual but it isn't in the help guide on this site.
