How to install a serpentine belt

[J-GTE]

I have a friend who needs to install a serpentine belt on his IS. He's looked on the forums (supraforums, my.is, blah blah blah). He would also like one with some illustrations to make the process a bit easier. Anyone know how and got pics for a serpentine install?

no need to drain the radiator or remove the hose on the IS300..

I replaced my serpentine belt with my friend back during the summer, took all but 5 min to take the stock one off and replace...

you can do it without removing anything.

just snake the belt around the fan

I was actually replacing a power steering pump on my sc300 and that requires a few things to be unbolted. So al i did was recall the basic steps.

SO. Kiss my arse :madfawk:
Oh well i went about it the way the damn LSRM presents the instructions to do it.
