Anyone have directions or a link on the serpentine belt for the VR6? It looks like the bearings on the tensioner froze and the tensioner has fallen apart. I will need to replace both.

Well I took an hour and a half to get the car home, drive & coast for 1/2 mile then turn it off to make sure it was cool.
I am relieved that this was not a bad job. I was pressed to get this car back on the road (or replace the starter in my bus) before Monday morning. Fortunately, MIG had parts in stock, I visited Brandon for a couple of minutes and then put things back together in less than an hour. Fortunately my garage is much warmer than outside.
I thought it would be much harder than it was.

Yup, those are easy, I have had to do it myslef also. did you figure out that if you take one of the tensioner bolts out, it is perfect size to put in the hole to relieve the tension on the belt?
