- 4). Follow your Buick's specific belt routing diagram to route the belt around the remaining engine accessory pulleys, before arriving at the automatic belt tensioner pulley.
- 5). Rotate the Buick's automatic belt tensioner aside once more with the belt tensioner tool. Slide the belt onto the tensioner and slowly rotate the tensioner back into place. Remove the tool and close the Buick's hood.
