Lower belt
I was changing the oil & filter on my 2002 today and noticed the lower belt needs to be replaced, i think its for the AC. Normally i would just get the manuals out to see what i need and how to change it,but i loaned the manuals to a friend of mine. Can someone give me a part number and a how to on changing this belt? Thanks Guys

Haven't bought the shop manuals, either. Just replaced mine with the Good Year Gator Back after annoying squealing, pretty straight forward job, used a boxed in wrench wedged to take the tension off the belt have to remove main drive belt to get to it. Good time to replace BOTH belts. Draw a diagram first, just in case. These Gator Backs fit tight.
As others have said, check the pulleys/tensioners for noise as they are easier to replace at this stage of the game.
FWIW, A/C belt harder for me to put on than the main drive belt.
