I want to try changing the 2 serpentine belts on my 2003 Dodge Intrepid.?

The employee at AutoZone says that all I likely have to do is loosen a bolt for the tensioner, take the belt off and put a new one on, then re-tighten the tensioner.





Is that all there is too it? Is is a tight space that I%26#039;ll be working in or should I expect the car to give me some resistance? I%26#039;m pretty handy with tools and working on my car changing brakes and stuff, just so you know my experience level...





Thanks!|||Click below will give you step by step instructions. Good Luck.|||I have never changed a serpentine belt on a 2003 Dodge Intrepid, but I have changed plenty of them on other cars. It might be a little tight but normally it is pretty easy to do. I put a long wrench on the tensioner to pull it back and pull the belt off. route the belt back onto the pulleys the way they came off. There should be a belt routing diagram sticker some where under the hood. Find this sticker before you take the belt off and can%26#039;t figure out how it goes back on. If you can%26#039;t find it take a digital picture of it to make sure you don%26#039;t forget how it goes. Put it back on and wrench the tensioner back to let the belt go back on. That%26#039;s it.|||look on the front of the vehicle under the hood for a diagram of the belt routing before you start this job or it will get real confusing, if its not their go buy a haynes repair manual ,because it has good illustrations of how to do this and many other jobs you might want to do on that car,its not hard to do but most people forget where and how the belt routes and wind up coming on here for answers,and a repair book with pictures beats any answer we can give you,and if your nice to them they might even change it for you for free,good luck and have good new years,and be safe,|||Your vehicle does not have spring loaded tensioner for belt tension but an adjustable pulley as the person from Autozone stated. It%26#039;s a matter of loosing the pulley, removing the belt and re-installing. This task is not difficult and if you are handy with tools (metric) you should have no problems.

If it has no belt diagram make one yourself. If the rad is very close put a piece of card board between the rad and the belts so you don%26#039;t knock a hole in the rad. Match the new belts with the old ones .
