Ok, I have my new belts, and I was just wondering if anyone could go over some details of replacing the A/C, Alternator, and power steering belts on my 97 Honda Civic (VTEC D16Y8).
I have a service manual, but I can't seem to find a section that deals with just replacing the belts (each belt has its own adjustment section though, but those don't go over how to remove the belts)
One of the belts (AC belt, I'm pretty sure) is looped around something on the car's undercarriage. A bracket of some sort... may be the PS pump lower? Looking at some of the instructions it looks like I'll need to loosen the PS pump. I just don't want to loosen some critical bracket and have the engine fall on me.
Anyway if anyone could give a quick step by step on this procedure, I'd really appreciate it. I can use the manual to fill in gaps, or if you know exactly which section of the manual to direct me to, that'd work.
Thanks in advance.
