Take a 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar, stick it in the hole on the belt tensioner at the idler, push down. Release tension on the belt, slide it off the alternator. Relax tension on the tensioner, remove the ratchet, slide the belt off.

Doesn't even take long enough to finish half a beer.

use a breaker bar. its probably too hard with a ratchet but yes good intructions.
oh just pull off the alternator nothing else to aid in rerouting

Which blower are you installing?

Which blower are you installing?

Vortech V3. Non-intercooled (which should cut down install time significantly).
