I would lookup a service manual for that model. Have you looked on You tube?

Remove the cover on the back. The awkward part, there’s no adjustments or tensioner. I removed the water pump pulley, removed old belt, put the new belt on, forced the pulley with the belt onto the water pump by hand, started the screws by hand, snugged with a cordless impact gun, torqued with a torque wrench. It wasn’t bad, but ours is on a slide and comes out very far.

Problem solved. Ended up removing generator from rv. Did complete belt and hose change as well as well as thermostat and complete service. Reinstalled. Tested. All ok now. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Hope you also replace the temperature sender at the same time. Its location dictates the genset must be removed from the RV too.
