Re: serpentine belt

What fight? The Master is correct, but it IS possible to do it another way. It might not be much easier, though, and there are benefits to removing the shroud.

Just for grins, clean up the old belt and stuff it back into the sleeve. Put it in one of the rear compartments just in case. Since it isn't broken, it might make a good temporary spare. There are probably lots of places along the highway where you can find a ratchet to relieve the tensioner spring, but not nearly as many places to find a replacement belt, so that spare might just save your hide.
