HELP! 2020 Chevy Silverado 5.3 how to remove serpentine belt?

[Cantrell]

Also the dealership told me if the belt is squeeking that I also need to change the pulley.  Is that true?

Does anybody know the part number for the accessory belt and the AC belt?

Around 40k My belt squeaked for a bit then shredded.  I put a new belt on and the squeaking stopped for about 30k miles and has now squeaked for the past 7 or 8k on startup.  Once warm the squeaking goes away.  I wonder what specific pulley “they” are referring to?

[Cantrell]

It is the drive belt idler pulley - 55581830

Also, the auto parts stores are telling me that GM has not released the accessory belt patton yet so they can't get them.

Am I wrong that this is about 4 years old?

 

Gangly, where did you purchase your replacement belt?

[Gangly]

I purchased the OEM belt through Amazon.

I ended up ordering the pulley and the belt from rock auto.

Thanks to everyone’s ideas on here! I just snapped my belt and almost walked down to the dealership to beat the service sept manager just on principle. My GM had the same engine with a tensioner. I’ll try the zip tie trick since I have no specialty tool. Thanks for the info peeps!!!
