[Ve1Ls1dEvolutioN]

anybody have a "how to" or can someone help me out on how to change my drive belts(AC, alternator, and power steering)...my car has 139,000miles with orginial belts and its making the squeeking noise when i start the car...i check the belts and they are loose and cracking...i'm scared its just gonna give out on me any day now...i bought the belts from autozone already...where do i start?? i have the tools to work on it so its not a problem...can someone guide me or show me some directions on what to do?? its a 97 ST auto

thanx

im in the process of doing the same thing, ive gotten off the alt and pwr steering belts fine (loosen the alt/pwr steering pump, if anyone wants more detail just ask) but does anyone know how to get the ac belt off? the ac compressor doesnt appear to be mounted the same way as the others, like how they slide...

yeah i figured it out with a help of a friend and 2 books(chiltons and haynes)...you have to loosened the adjustment screw which is located on the top by the small wheel that rotates the ac belt...its a size 12 or 14 mm...then u gotta unscrew the lock which is located on the side of that wheel...wish i had pictures to show u...hope i didn't confuse you...
