Belts..

[timemachinetercel]

Good day!
I'm going to tackle changing my Power steering pump belt and A/C belt in the next couple of days.. I have been looking online for guides but can't find a whole lot! It looks fairly straight forward but.. do I need to remove the rad?
If anyone has any tips/tricks I would love to hear them..
Peace.

You do not need to remove the rad. When you loosen the power steering pump, you have to loosen bolts on both sides of the pump. 14 mm head. The front one is obvious, the rear one is harder to see. I sometimes find that the bracket that the front of the pump pivots on has to be loosened to get the new belt on.

The A/C belt has a separate pulley for tension. You loosen the bolt in the center(14 mm again, I think) of it and then turn the long screw to back it off. I think that one has a 10 mm head.

Great, Thanks for all that info..
I will tackle it tomorrow and let post on how it goes!

If you are going through all that I'd replace the alt/WP belt too.

Thanks for that, the previous owner had an Alternator and belt installed not long ago..
Managed to do the other ones and I'm glad I did they were pretty cracked and old!
