Exclamation Changing the Serpentine belt......

I have ALWAYS changed the belts on my cars. I have a 2004 LS430 and am wondering just how hard this is to do on this car. Thoughts???

its very easy just like any other car once you remove the plastic intake cover. not fan clutch to deal with either.

Default Thanks, so much

Thanks. I expect you mean the big silver thingy on top. Sounds like it might even be easier than the Corvette was. Should the tensioner be changed after 100k?
