The tool is just a long wrench really. You turn the tensioner counter clockwise to release the tension. Take care to just turn enough to release enough tension to remove the belt. If you turn too far you will release the tensioner and the spring inside it.

Put the new belt in place running over the tensioner last. Then again release the tension with the tool in the same manner.

You do not need the special tool any wrench will do that can reach the tensioner.

Do I need to remove motor mount to replace the serpentine belt?

On my 01 LeSabre, changing serpentine belt is a breeze.

Use a 5/8 socket and strong arm on the tensioner pully, rotate towards the back of the car to loose tension on the belt, then just slip the belt off. I was suprised how easy it was to do.

How do I change the serpentine belt on a 1998 Buick LeSabre, 3.8

My friend;
Try this;
  1. Check the belt pulley may have attaching tension bolts (Nuts), etc.
  2. Loose the belt pulley attaching tension bolts (Nuts), etc.
  3. Normally there are three bolts & or nuts u need to loose to allow u swivel the pulley side way.
  4. Once loose, swivel the pulley side way.
  5. Mostly, you don't have to remove the bolts & or nuts completely.
  6. You may need to remove other serpentine belt to reach the power steering belt.
  7. Removing those other belts work same as the power steering belts or other belts.

Diagram to change fan belt on 1993 buick lesabre

the "serp" belt is self-adjusted by a spring loaded tensioner pulley. the proper size wrench or a 3/8" square drive inserted in the tensioner and rotated will release the tension to allow the belt to come off. reverse order to install. DRAW A PICTURE OF THE ROUTING OF THE BELT AROUND THE PULLEYS BEFORE REMOVING CURRENT BELT!!

Serpentine belt tension

One pulley is a tensioner. Put a wrench on the nut in the center of the pulley and relieve the tension from the belt.

Serpentine Belt

On my car, the water pump went out, the axle got cocked sideways, and the serpentine belt came off a got chewed up.

Other than something like that, I think it would have to be the tensioner not doing it's job.
