93 Grand Caravan 3.0 V-6 Serpentine Belt--What tool to use ???

What tool (is there a specific name, where do you get one, what brand, etc.) do you use to change the serpentine belt? Thanks.!

I'm not familiar with the 93 caravan, but typically if it has a spring-loaded tension pulley, you just find the socket that fits the bolt on the front side of the pulley, and use a long-handled breaker bar with the socket to rotate the pulley enough to slip the belt on...

The tension arm on that engine has a square hole in it for a half inch socket wrench. I have never been able to fit a ratchet in that small space. I use a simple non-ratcheting bar with a piece of pipe stuck on the handle for more leverage.

Or that too... That makes it even easier. Sounds like the setup that my old Ford Escort had. I like that idea better than the bolt/nut deal anyway. I had a car once that used a nut welded to a tension arm... After years on tightening belts, the nut eventually broke off the arm... Not a good thing!
