I just need a little reassurance before i go rip all my belts off. My alternator belt is fine, was replaced about 6 months ago with the alternator. Where do I loosen the power steering belt? and is there an idler pulley on the a/c belt? and if so where? thanks for the help

Remove passenger side wheel, remove plastics.
Find the bottom bolt on the pump, loosen it, which will loosen tension. Enjoy working in a hellish spot if its a 5s. Enjoy slightly more freedom with the 7A. 2 bolts. 1 Pry bar. Remove the AC belt to do the PS belt. |

Don't even think about trying to change your PS belt from the hood with a 5S  It is an absolutely awful spot..but the best way is through the passenger wheel well, for sure. -------------------- |

its an old 7afe. but removing the wheel does sound like the best idea. this will be tight since this side of my car is a little damaged from a deer hit recently. does the a/c belt have idler pulley?

You tension the AC pulley or that assembly by a bolt underneath the alt. Its either a 10mm or 12mm can't recall. Slightly hidden. This post has been edited by rave2n: Apr 14, 2013 - 11:20 AM |
