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

Thanks,

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.
