There is only one belt, the serpentine belt. All you will need is a ratchet, and an extension to place in the idler pulley.
The timing belt needs to be replaced about every 100k miles. Actually the recommended interval is 105,000 miles. You also replace the tensioner and idler pulley at this time
All you have to do is loosen the idler pulley and the belt is a snap after you do that. just tightin bolt after the belt is on. good to go
The idler pulley is on a spring loaded arm. To release the tension, use a long breaker bar, or a long pipe on a box wrench. Use the proper size wrench or socket, and put it on the idler pulley bolt head. Rotate the idler arm assembly in a counter clock-wise direction and the tension will be released. Then you can remove the belt. Hint use rubber bands to keep the belt on the other pulleys while replacing the alternator. Joedi
The 1999 Jeep Cherokee employs an interesting idler pulley assembly. What you need to do is:1. Remember the belt routing, it's not printed under the hood.2. Loosen the 15mm hex nut on the idler pulley3. There's a bracket that the idler pulley is connected to and a 15mm tensioning bolt to turn to release the tension off of the belt.Jeep Cherokees seem to like Premium belts best.
If it is 4x4, you have to replace the whole hub
