Belts
 
My alternator belt disintegrated today so I'm gonna replace both in the early am.Any tricks I may need to know?I saw what I think was the adjuster behind the alternator so that looked pretty easy,but how about the ps belt?
Thanks for any help/advice Dudes!!!
I really appreciate it!!!

There are 3 or 4 bolts at the power steering pump that you need to loosen. One of them is accessible through a hole in the pump's pulley. Once you have these bolts loosened you need to go to the front of the pump and loosen the adjuster bolt. If you put a little pressure on the belt you can feel out which way to turn the adjuster.

For the alternator: the adjuster is on the back of the alternator but there is a mounting bolt that is easier to get to from under the car.
