Belt Replacement

[chackbay]

I know this will sound silly, but what is the easiest method to replace the serpentine belt on a 2000 Silverado 1500, 5.3L.I don't see a tension idle pully like on the ac belt that would release the belt tension to remove it.

The absolute easiest way is to take it in and have someone else do it.

oosp wrong belt.

just unwind it then rewinded the new one. there is realy no easy way. the one blelt system is a bear to put on. if you do it a few times it becomes real easy to do.

It can't be too hard. Just take your time and read the little schematic on the plastic shield under the hood that tells you how to run it. I used to do this all the time at the service station.
