How to tighten the fan (serpentine) belt.?

I have a Saturn SL2 and was wondering if anyone can tell me how to tighten the serpentine (fan) belt.



or even how to change/replace one!



any info would be very nice :)How to tighten the fan (serpentine) belt.?
no you not tighten a serpentine belt . it time to buy a new beltHow to tighten the fan (serpentine) belt.?
The Fan on most engines with a Serpentine belt is tightened via a Idler pulley..In other words this pulley has only one job, and that is to tighten the serpentine belt. If you follow your serpentine belt around the various pulleys ( Fan, Alternator, Crankshaft) you will find one pulley which will have a spring tensioner in the back...Sometimes these Idler pulleys will use a common wrench to losten and tighten them..........Its not a Scientific problem to adjust these!!
