Replace them all Posted by couch tour [Email] (#187) [Profile/Gallery] (more from couch tour) on Thu, 3 Jul 2008 05:51:20 In Reply to: Re: Newbie, huh'?..Belts for practice/newbies.

Go back and get all of the belts - power steering and air conditioning - because you'll be taking them all off to get at the alternator belts. The biggest pain of this job is the tensioner on the power steering. That 13mm bolt on the power steering tensioner is tough to access, use a short open ended 13mm wrench and a whole lot of patience.
Getting the new belts back on can be a pain as well. I remove the water pump pulley to get the alternator/water pump belts back on - a mechanics mirror will help to rotate it back into place to get those little 10mm bolts back in. I remove the upper bolt on the AC tensioner to get that belt back on. The power steering belt just needs to be wrestled back on.
