AC compressor belt replacement
OK I glanced over my car real fast, I already changed the main serp, and now I'm gonna do the little AC compressor belt one. It looks like its gonna be a royal pain in the **** to get to , so I was wondering if anybody had any instructions?
Yes I did a serach, but came up with nothing detailed. Thanks.

i haven't changed my belts yet but from what i've read on the forum it would have been easier to change it when you did the drive belt and it may be easier to get to it from the bottom.
i know i wasn't much help but it gave you a TTT. :)

Re: AC compressor belt replacement (eRiCdWoNg)
It is easy. It would have been easier to do when you did the serp belt but it is still easy. The only trick is to make sure the belt is lined up on the crank and compressor and is lined up on the tensioner and idler pulleys. First time I did it is slipped off either the idler or tensioner pulley. You can do it from above. Never tried it from it below.

Wow, it was easier then I thought with a 15 mm box wrench. I did it from the underside. I think my pully might be hinting at some squeeking- it was noisy when I spun it by hand....
