Have you DIY the serpentine belt?
I have seen multiple you tube videos on replacing the serpentine belt. Is it really that simple? How many here have done this seemingly easy task?

Very Easy on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being hardest); it is a 1. Easier than oil change.

The toughest part is getting to the belt through the bulkhead behind the seats. Changing the belt iself is a 0 on a scale of 1-10.

Yes, it really is that easy...! I spent more time removing the carpeting and engine cover than I spent removing and installing the belt.
