alright, my accessory belts will need to be replaced soon. there's some cracking in both belts and i don't wanna be on the road when they reach their limit.
i know how to replace and adjust the upper belt that drives the A/C and alternator, but i can't figure out how to get the lower one off! my Haynes manual says to loosen an adjustment bolt on a slotted bracket. but it doesn't show a picture of where it is! i can see where the power steering pump is, but not where it mounts to the engine, or the 'slotted bracket' the manual speaks of.

if anyone has replaced and/or adjusted their drive belts, please tell me how. pictures would be more helpful.
thanks!!

look for your power stiring fill and when you see that the bolt to loosen it is right beside that on the brackit you cant miss it mine is a 7afe but i think they are the same

It takes a wrench, too tight for a socket and ratchet, needs to be done from underneath - dont get in a hurry.

i may have a shop do it then. i can replace the top one easy, but the bottom one is another story. if i have to get to from under the car, that'll be tough, cuz i don't have access to a lift or jackstands.
