Default Changing out acc. belt and tensioner pulley

Ordered thru Amazon the Goodyear Gatorback (Continental Elite?) accessory belt and the Continental Elite replacement pulley for the belt tensioner.

I'm expecting it all to go pretty smooth ... which is about where my troubles usually begin.

Any heads up issues on this fairly simple (for most) procedure?

Thanks.

Fairly simple. Just check your torque spec. No biggie.

Btw, give the idler an eyeball too.

Default a/c

I put my car up on ramps to change mine. that way I could look at it from the bottom as well as making it easier for me to reach from the top. good luck with the repair

Do the A/C belt too while you have the primary belt off
