Question How hard to replace Serpintine Belt?

I have a 2005 Chrysler T & C Touring, 3.8 FWD with 110,000 miles on it. I would like to replace the Serpentine Belt. But before I attempt it. I thought I would get some advise on how hard it might be to take off & replace. So if anyone has time to tell me if I should take it to the dealer or attempt it myself. Thanks Again Ives

I don't think they are that hard but ive done several of them. If this shows up this is a picture of the belt routing on ur van. Over all to me they arent that hard. Just have to make sure you have the belt in the right spots.

In that chassis and engine its a knuckle scraper.Best done with the right front tire and lower splash shield removed.Having a tensioner tool works best but it can be done with a long handle ratchet. I always slip it under the idler pulley,(#7),last. HTH
