Man I hate the complicated routing of the serpentine belt on the Matrix. I have an '05 Xr with 73k miles(yeah, I drive a lot ) and the belt has been screeching for a few months now. Just today I learned where the tensioner pulley is and took the old belt off. Simple enough, right ? Then I had to put the new one back on. Talk about work ! My hands will be aching for days !
