How to replace the drive belt on Cadillac DTS?

Starting Drive Belt replacement requires users to remove the right front wheelhouse liner from the vehicle. Use a 1/2 inch drive breaker (1/2 inch drive breaker) on the Drive Belt tensioner while leveraging the breaker bar down to untighten the belt. Simultaneously remove the Power Steering Pump Drive Belt before slowly putting back the tensioner to its starting point. After removing the belt from the lower pulley and idlers raise the vehicle partially. Begin Drive Belt installation by passing it through all pulleys except the Power Steering Pump then lower the vehicle while reimplementing the 1/2 inch drive breaker bar to the Drive Belt tensioner. The tension release should be activated by pressing down on the breaker bar while guiding the belt to settle onto the Power Steering Pump pulley and all adjacent pulleys. Thoroughly look for Drive Belt alignment while inspecting its routing before you install the right front wheelhouse liner. Additionally you should start the engine to confirm proper belt and accessory functioning.
