Our TREK is a '99, so very similar to yours. I remove the "Doghouse" engine cover and lean over the front of the engine. You need to use a 3/8 in. breaker bar to momentarily release the serpentine belt tensioner. Removing the engine cover can be a pain, and I found that removing the passenger seat makes the process much easier. I use a small ratcheting wrench to remove the four seat mounting bolts and place the seat back away from the engine cover. Also, be sure to understand how the belt wraps around the different pulleys. Either make a sketch, or look in your chassis manuals. Some of the belts have routing diagrams on the packaging.
There is discussion of removing the engine cover on the Trek Tracks forum. If you don't subscribe to this, do it now for invaluable TREK information http://www.nwtfc.com/forum/active.asp
