Default 4.2 v8 serpentine belt change
Hi all.
My belt is squeeling away when I hit puddles, etc and obviously needs replacing.
Can anyone advise me on the correct process, any tips before I tear into it on my day off?
Thanks

Great! Thank you. Do I have to remove the fan to get access? Or have I wiggle room?

As said above room to remove around the fan, was handier to unbolt electric fan and push aside.
Thanks everyone
