1997 GC Serpentine Belt

[Wino]

I need to replace the serpentine belt on my 97 GC 4.0. I can see the adjusting bolt on the power steering mount but can't figure out where to loosen the tension wheel. Any help is appreciated.

You need to either use a socket on the tension pulley or in some cases there is a square hole to put your ratchet in on the tensioner pulley bracket.Then you just apply pressure in the opposite direction of the belt.

i just did mine on my 98 and i just loosened up the long bolt on the power steering mount and the belt slowly but surely loosened up.
