Intrepid Belt and Hose Change

I have a '99 Intrepid, and want to replace the belts and hoses. How does one get access to the belts and tensioners? There is no room to swing a wrench down there. Does the cross brace above the radiator come off? Or do I have to work from below. The Haynes manual is absolutely no help.

your assumption is correct, you have to remove the radiator crossmember to gain access to the belts and hoses.

You do not have to remove anything to access the belt you do it from the top it is a little tight butyou can do it i have done it plenty of times
