Hi,

I suppose we don't talk timing belt here, but serpentine belt.

You either need the special tool to support the engine, or a trolley jack or similar. I prefer the latter.
The task is straightforward, even WIS does not make much fuzz about it. Put a piece of plyboard or such between the jack and the oilpan, and slightly jack up the engine. You need to take one power steering hose off. the hardest bit is the engine support frame, which needs to come off. A couple of large bolts, but I found that a good set of sockets and extensions is important to be able to get to all of them whilst being able to apply sufficient force to loosen them.
WIS recommends taking the air mass meter & hose off, but that's not really necessary if you don't want to. But anyway, 30 seconds later....

Taking the belt off is easy as this configuration has only 1 tensioner. Just put a large box wrench or torque wrench on the center bolt of the pulley (the small one top-rear of the engine) and pull it forward (clockwise). Put the new belt on (6pk2020).

i found the trolley jack method is quite useful in lining up the holes of the engine mount and the car. Bolt torque is 46.5 lbs/ft.

good luck,

Jan Geert
