Drain radiator, remove fan shroud and fan(special tool for fan clutch removal) remove WP pulley, remove belt tensioner (be prepared to buy new belt tensioner if at the end of adjustment) Some may remove power steering pulley to unbolt P/S pump to pull aside, I don't. I just remove #1 intake manifold bolt and roll pump out after removing bottom bolts with special wobbly socket. Make sure you loosen the 19mm bolt at the center of the tensioner before loosening adjustment or simply stretch the belt over the pulley to remove as not to touch the adjustment on the tensioner.
