You can replace the serpentine belt on the Toyota RAV 4 by lifting the car with a jack or ramp to completely remove the right front wheel. Once the wheel is removed, proceed to loosen the screws that secure the inner lining of the corresponding wheel arch.

After removal, loosen the screws that secure the tensioner to move it. The tension on the serpentine belt will be significantly reduced, allowing you to remove and replace it with a new part.
