2004 FX4 Serpentine Belt Replacement: Difficulty?
Just curious how difficult it is to replace the serpentine belt? I noticed it's began cracking, and I'd like to replace it before it snaps. I appreciate your time!

It's easy.
Need a 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar with 1/2" drive to move tensioner.
You can tell by just looking what the tensioner is.
Your not removing bolts or anything, just moving it.
Remove and replace.
Tip: make sure your sticker that shows the routing is still visible in case you forget how to route it if you have never done it before.
If you can't read sticker, take a pic.
Replace belt making sure it's right side in, this is really easy to tell.
Don't sweat it.... It's a piece of cake.
