- Install the new belt
Confirm the new belt matches the old one's length, loop it around the crankshaft and power steering pulleys, bring it around the A/C and alternator pulleys, push it under the tensioner pulley, tighten the 13mm tensioner bolt until the belt has about 1/8 inch of play in either direction, tighten the 15mm nut, lower the car, then briefly run the engine and recheck the play, loosening the tensioner bolt if it's too tight or tightening it if too loose.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
