get a new serpentine belt, there's a tensioner bolt somewhere that you turn with a wrench to loosen it up to remove the old one and put the new one on, there should be a diagram for belt routing on the fan shroud.

yeah, although if im right, its not a bolt, its a square peg for a 3/8 in ratchet to fit into, rotate the tensioner to the slack position, install the belt, and let the tentioner out till it is holding the belt firmly.
