Just when everything was going good....

something had to go wrong. Why? I just replaced my worn brake pads with ebc greenstuff. Finally, everything on my car that needed to be fixed was. Then out of nowhere my serpentine belt snaps while doing about 85 on the highway. That was fun.
Anyways, are there any special tools i need to replace the belt.

Pays for itself first use away from dealership!

Special tools, probably not... Re: Just when everything was going good....

Not familiar with your car... but
with my car you do not need any special tools.
You only need the right size allen wrench, and
an idea on which way the belt is routed.....
Just loosen the tensioner and put it on, and tighten.
It's more or less just like any other car I haved changed it on....
