Changing 5.4 Serpentine Belt

I have 01 5.4 Supercrew with air and I want to change the belt with a Goodyear Gatorback and I was wondering how to do it? Where is the belt tensioner?

Thanks

A 1/2" breaker bar makes it real easy to change. It fits into the tension pulley that is on the passenger side of the engine. You need to push it down to remove the tension.

That sounds right. Insert the breaker bar into the square and with the bar at 10 oclock pull it towards the driver side. You will notice the tension loosen on the belt immediately if you are going the right way.

Your welcome!
