Wanting to change the serpentine belt on '15. Any vids out there? Aside from loosening or removing tensioner, are there any tricks or tips? Looks pretty tight getting around the fan.
Thanks

No idea if the '15 routing is any different to my '03, but on mine there is no reason to go around the fan. Study the routing carefully and you can pull it out only by releasing the tension on the belt (use a 1/2" drive ratchet - the only tool that is needed) and then pull the belt off the alternator pulley. Then pull the belt out and install the new belt. It is tight around the tensioner, but it will go.

Snap a pic of it BEFORE you take it off. Make sure you can see the pics well. Take more than one if needed. Remember too, the smooth pulleys ride on the back of the belt and the grooved ride on the inside of the belt.

You will more than likely be better off taking the fan off instead of fighting it, making the job take 3 times as long.

i video the old belt with a ipad, then you have a nice large screen to look at when routing the new belt.
