Dear Greg,

May this find you well. The alternator belt connects the crank pulley (aka the harmonic balancer) and the alternator pulley. You will need to remove the airconditioning belt - the outer-most one - to be able to install the alternator belt. Only one belt drives two accessories, and that belt serves the water pump and the power steering motor, which are on the left side of the engine block (as you face it).

To install a new alternator belt, you need not remove anything. You do need to loosen the air conditioning compressor mounting bolts. You will need to loosen the alternator mounting bolts. Loosening these bolts - and easing the tensioners - will allow you to rotate these motors, so that you can remove and/or put on the belts.

Remove the air conditioning compressor belt. Then, install the alternator belt. Tension it so that the belt has about 1/4" of "drop", when you press a finger on it. Inspect the air conditioning compressor belt closely. If there any cracks in it, replace it.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

spook
