So I am driving down the road about 3 miles from my house and I hear wack-wack-wack-wack. So I pull over and open the hood and see the PS belt has shredded half of itself and it is wrapping around the fan. So I cut the engine and pull out all the little bits and figure I will cut the belt so it doesn't do any real damage and suffer the pain having no PS for the drive home. Replacing the 3 belts is easy once you know how. It took me 2 days because I couldn't find the one stuck on bolt keeping the PS from pivoting. But with this tech tip it should take you an hour. I can now do it in 30 minutes on a cold engine because I have taken the belts on and off for many a task. I would also suggest keeping 1 set of your old belts in the back in case one breaks while you are on the road. The are light weight and can keep you from getting stranded. There are 3 belts in our cars air conditioner, alternator, and power steering. The PS is in the back and the AC belt is the front one.
