R&R serpentine belt, '03 Hybrid?
It is difficult to find much tech info on these cars.

Any help on replacing the belt - how the tensioner works, etc? Can't find video or much else.

Thanks.

If it's an automatic tensioner then rotate the pulley away from the belt, should be straightforward from there. Take a picture of the belt routing if there isn't one on the car.
Manual tensioner loosen the bolts and rotate whatever component away from the belt

Photos, finally.
No belt routing label under the hood.
It's tight in there.
Are the circled bolts in the first photo the tensioner bolts?
Thanks!

never looked under the hood of a hybrid...

the bolt on the left is just holding the cover.

the one on the right, it have the slot. Maybe to actually remove the belt?

A quick Google search says the top is the tensioner but I don't know how it works. You'll have to dig into it to figure it out.

Re: R&R serpentine belt, '03 Hybrid?
the right bolt is in a slot, so maybe it tilts the upper
