Serpentine Belt for 4.0L SOHC

[D4379]

I am having problems with the Serpentine Belt on my truck. It was replaced at the dealer but screeches for a bit after start up. I do not think it is tight enough. Also the idler puller is shot and has obvious large bearing play. I want to remove the belt and replace the pulley. I need to know what size wrench works with the tensioner. I tried by own ratchet but it looks like a pretty big breaker bar is needed not a small 1/2" drive wrench. What is the best way to do this?

Get a big breaker bar. That's all it needs.

Just make sure you don't hit the positive battery post with the tool.

what size is the belt that they put on it? I am in the middle of a big belt/HB issue.
