Find the belt tensioner and using a socket and ratchet move the tensioner wheel and arm upwards just enough to slip the belt out from under the tensioner wheel. Make note of routing pattern for old belt so new belt can be installed exactly the same.
drop your gadget from the 3rd floor of a building and poof you got it.
This is an easy one. There is a belt tensioner on the top of the engine which applies tension to the serpentine belt. A small wheel rides above the belt and applies the tension. Put a ratchet and socket on the bolt found in the center of the small wheel. The wheel and arm it is attached to will move up as you apply pressure to the ratchet. It is only necessary to move the small wheel and arm a short distance in order to slip the serpentine belt from under it.The trick will be replacing the belt. If the label showing the routing of the serpentine belt is missing (usually on the air intake pipe) draw a diagram before removing the belt.

Hi.. I believe its a quarter inch rachet or breaker bar should do the trick....
serpentine belt routingIt is usually marked on the radiator shroud and shows a diagram if not there check another vehicle with the serpentine belt diagram or go to you local library and ask to check a chilton manual on Chevy 305/350 Wayne Also, a good online resource with schematics is the AutoZone website.
the infiniti g20 does not use a belt,it uses a timing chain that does not need maintenance
Most of the GM serpentine belts have a spring-loaded tensioner. It should be somewhere along the top of the belt path. It will be an idler pulley on an arm about six inches long which mounts to the engine. Place a wrench on the bolt in the middle of the pulley (a socket handle is best) and turn it in the direction that lifts the pulley off the belt. Use the longest wrench handle you have, and procede carefully; that spring is pretty healthy. Slip the belt out from under the pulley, and then gently let the pulley back down. Finish removing the belt, and then position the new one over all the other pulleys. Finally, lift the tensioner again, slip the belt under it, and slowly let it down onto the belt. There is a special tool available for this. It's nice and long for good leverage, and the handle will bend so that it can reach into some spaces a socket wrench handle can't. Autozone has one in their Loan-a-Tool program.
If it is a 5.0L engine to my knowledge it can't be done. No bypass pulley is made for this engine. If you try to use a non-A/C belt, or simply a shorter belt it will approach the tensioner at an angle that won't let the tensioner apply pressure. The belt will just flop around. If you find a way I would be happy to know about it. I would like to do the same, but no luck. -Mark
The 1994 infiniti G20 does not have a timing belt, thus you can't replace it even if you want to. The G20 has a timing chain and does not need changing ever!
chain, no need for service
Serpentine belt tensioner replacement. Not easy because, if it's like my 1989 G20, it's difficult to get at. However, once you access it: take a wrench to the lower pulley where there's a hexagon center bolt, twist counter clock-wise against the spring force to relieve the belt tension until you can slip the belt off the pulley. Now remove the center bolt on the spring housing. There's a self locking nut on the rear side of the mounting bracket that you will have to hold. That center bolt goes through the mounting bracket and two other struts so you have to make sure they align when you put things back together. (By the way, one of those struts sits on top of the bolt holding down the thermostat housing and makes replacing the thermostat a tough job.) Install the new tensioner in it's relaxed state making sure the anti-rotation pin fits into the hole in the mounting bracket. When you have the center bolt tight, twist against the spring force - counter clock-wise - until you can slip the belt back into place. Make sure the belt is aligned correctly on all the pulleys. Good luck.
