Mine fell off twice so far once when going through snow and other was going through rainstorm had to use jack wrench to pry down and slip on belt which was hard to do and don't advise you to try. Ok the pulley directly under the alternator and in the middle of 3 other pulleys is the one that is the tensioner. To do this right use a 15 millimeter or 5/8 socket or open end wrench, the longer the handle the better so you can get good leverage maybe you have a pipe to slide over handle. There is a diagram of the way the belt goes on under the hood. I have a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan

    Also you don't loosen anything you only put the socket or wrench on the nut and pull down , the pulley will move down with pressure and spring back to place when released. practice loosening the pulley a few times before you put belt on as it may be hard to move at first.

On the front of the engine, there is what they call a belt tentioner, you probably cant see it very well, but feel around and youll feel a square hole, a 3\8 wratchet will fit that hole, pull the wratchet towards you, releasing the belt.
P.S make sure you write down the way the belt was routed or there might be a diagram on the front of engine .

How to replace the belt on 2000 dodge caravan

I had to replace the brushes on my 2000 Caravan alternator so I had to remove the serpentine belt. I was able to remove the belt by prying the idler pulley inwards to take of the pressure and slip it off so I think you should be able to do the same thing.

Serpentine belt replacement

What engine do you have? The 3.3 and 3.8 engines have a single serpentine belt, and a belt tensioner, so no adjustment is needed. Did you replace the tensioner, and want to know how much to torque it? countrycurt0
