How do you remove the serpentine belt and install a new one?? I tried searching, and found results, nut the linked didn't work. Here is the link i found: http://www.joe250.com/cars/evo/belttensioner.htm Belt is making noise when I first start up the car, but when it warms up to normal temp, it goes away. it sounds like there are crickets under the hood. Step by Step details and pics would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

Is it the AC "Clutch" making that cricket sound?

I don't think its the AC clutch. Since it only makes the noise when its cold(first start up) but when it warms up, noise goes away. Plus I have a cheap NAPA belt on right now. I guess the previous owner went the cheap route when they changed it the first time. the engine only has 23k on it, and already needs a new belt.

The belt needs tension. Push down on the belt and see how much deflection you get.
