To replace the serpentine belt on the Fiat Grande Punto, lift the car using a jack so that the front right wheel is off the ground: this wheel must be removed by unscrewing the bolts that secure it. This will provide access to the components located at the rear and allow you to loosen the central pin of the belt tensioner: by loosening the pin, the tension on the belt will be reduced, making it possible to remove it from its pulleys and replace it with a new one.
