If i undo these will the fan disconnect so i can put on new belts?? Or is there no way to avoid taking off the heat shield??
Sorry for pic quality. It was hard to get my hand in there to take the pic with my phone haha

Yes you can. Its hard to describe but if you put the belt between 2 of the blades and turn the fan over you will be able to get the belt on the other side of the fan. < Not the best description ever but hopefully you figure it out.

NJGreen, your 7 is sexy my dude haha
Ok, so I got the Alt belt on, now I'm stuck on the Air Pump Belt. One of the circle tracks it runs on is next to the intake box. Do i remove this one to get the air pump belt on? Ive been trying to undo the 3 screws attached to it but i can get the damn thing to stop rotating completely. Any suggestions?
Does any one have a diagram of how all the belts look when they are done? Just to make sure I have everything in the right track before i start her up :-)

I'm not about to pay somebody to put in one belt. Forums are to ask questions when you get stuck... I'm stuck, I'm asking questions. Plus i cant find a shop near by that is willing to even touch my car.
Is the Air pump adjustable like the Alt?? Its either that or the dude at the auto shop sold me the wrong belt ( they've sold me the wrong rotors and brakes before too... bastards )
This is the first time I've ever put belts on by myself.
Buuuttt, if you say nothing needs to be removed, i guess i better go put that track back into place and put the screws back in :-). Once i get this belt on I'm finished

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
people still run airpumps?
seriously? Wow. You know the more graceful way would be to brace a screwdriver against two studs to stop it from turning. Seriously? some ******* channell locks?

This is a fairly common practice on many other cars, I'm surprised at the response here.
