how to replace serpentine belt only SL2?

We have a new to us 98 SL2 on which the serpentine belt just cracked
and split. We think that the tensioner is fine, but need to replace the
serpentine belt. The previous owner did not provide a manual, and we
are stuck. Any advice or instructions would be greatly appreciated.

Spend $15-20, buy a Haynes or Chilton service manual and follow the
instructions.

It is very easy to replace. Jack up the right side of the car. Remove
the right front wheel. This gives excellent access the to tensioner.
The old SC2 that I work on doesn't have any kind of wheel well to take
out. I'm not sure about others. With a 9/16 or 14mm wrench on the bolt
on the front of the tensioner pully, rotate it clockwise and slip the
belt off. Work your new belt on the same way. A 20 minute job.
