Re: How do can I remove the fan belt from 2000 TJ 4.0L

Brian, look at page 7-31 of your manual. It has the belt routing schematic
on that page, though it does not have the diagram found on Bill H's
illegally ripped pdf pages. :-)

The instructions on page 7-32 refer to the 2.5L engine. It's not marked very
well.

Thanks for the .pdf info. The tensioner diagram on pg. 7-24 fig 14 in
not in my DC year 2000 manual. What year manual did you get it from?
Maybe I need to buy an updated version of the manual, one the covers
omission from this model years manual?
