changing belt tensioner and belt
Going to replace my belt tensioner and belt. Any tips on how to thread the new belt back on? I'm trying to figure out how it gets around the fan.

There should be a routing diagram on the radiator support?

I have the diagram, that I understand. I'm trying to see how the belt goes on the pullys with the fan shaft in the way. Does the belt get threaded between the radiator and fan, and get pulled over the shaft? Sorry if I'm not making sense.

Yes, between the fan and radiator first.

once you do it, the next time shouldnt take more than a few minutes to change the belt. i got used to taking mine off to clean the oil off the belt when i had a oil leak from the front cover.the belt would start squeeking when it got too much oil on it.
