Default Serpentine belt on SC300

Did a search and saw the topic was dicussed but couldn't find any specific answers.


I've got an intermittent squeak coming from under the hood. From what I've read it could be the belt, a bad idler bearing and/or belt tensioner. I'm thinking it's the belt because I sprayed some conditioner on it and the noise went away for a few weeks.

Anyone have the removal and replacement instructions along with the tension specs?

What about the idler bearing, has anyone replaced that?
