Can anyone please tell me the steps to properly remove the accessory belts?

Thanks,
Doc

 

well i don't know about the A/C and p/s pump but for the alt, WP and AP, you need to loose the air pump with the bracket under it (kind of a bolt in a slide) and then, you need to loosen the alternator. It should come out.

must the same kind with the other belt but i have never done it so don't know where the brackets are. It must not be harder.

For the ps/ac belt: take off the hose from the intercooler to the intake elbow, use a 17mm socket to loosen the idler next to the ps pulley, and loosen the 10mm bolt on top of the idler. For the water pump/alternator/airpump belt: loosen the two 12mm bolts on the airpump(one attaching it to the block and one to the bracket), losen the bolts on the alternator, I think one is 12mm and one is 14mm, and wind out the tensioning bolt on the alternator. Best way that I found to get that belt on and off is to loop it on all the pulleys and then slowly work it onto the idler. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks guys.

Much appreciated,
Doc
