This DIY is for those needing assistance with replacing their alternator/air conditioning compressor belt and/or their power steering belt.
Tools needed:
Ratchet
Extension 3"
Metric sockets, 10mm, 12mm & 14mm
Wrench 12mm
Start by removing this 10mm bolt holding the cruise control unit to the chassis.
Loosen this 10mm bolt until you are able to slide the cruise control unit to the driver side releasing the unit from the chassis. The hose marked in green will stay with the cruise control unit.
Disconnect the cruise control vacuum line. The line will stay with the unit.
Disconnect the cruise control wiring harness.
The cruise control unit is now completely removed from the chassis and can now be moved out of the way.
Start by loosening the power steering pump bolt on top of the pump 4 complete turns.
Loosen the bottom 12mm power steering pump nut 2 complete turns.

Loosen the power steering pump adjuster bolt. You may have to push down on the pump every few turns to see how much looser the adjuster bolt needs to be before the power steering belt will slide off the pulley.
With the power steering belt off the power steering pump pulley you will need to turn the wheels all the way to the left to access the 10mm splash shield bolt and remove it.
Once the 10mm bolt is out bend the splash shield back exposing the crankshaft pulley.
If the power steering belt has not dropped off the crankshaft pulley on its own pull it off and begin to remove from the bottom. You will need to turn the belt sideways to slide it between the A/C compressor clutch/pulley and the chassis.
Loosen the 14mm top alternator bracket bolt 4 complete turns.
Loosen the 12mm bottom alternator bracket nut 2 complete turns.
Loosen the 10mm alternator adjuster bolt. You may need to push down on the alternator every few turns to see how much more to loosen the adjuster bolt before the belt will slide off.
Once the alternator adjuster bolt has been loosened enough to remove the belt, proceed removing the belt. You will need to turn the belt sideways to remove it between the chassis and the A/C compressor and the crankshaft and the chassis.
The alternator belt is removed.
Begin installation of the alternator belt by feeding it up through the bottom. You will need to turn the belt sideways to slide it between the A/C clutch/pulley and the chassis, doing the same between the crankshaft pulley and the chassis.
Place the belt on the alternator pulley first, then the compressor clutch/pulley.
Go below and slide the alternator belt onto the crankshaft pulley. The alternator belt goes on the inside larger diameter pulley.
[B]Inspect all three pulleys to ensure they are installed correctly.
Once you are sure the belt is on the pulleys properly, begin tightening the alternator adjusting bolt. [B]
Below is an illustration showing proper belt deflection.

Once you have achieved proper belt deflection, tighten the lower 12mm alternator bracket nut. I tightened the nut to what I believe to be 30ftlbs.
Tighten the top 14mm alternator bracket bolt. I tightened the bolt to what I believe to be 40ftlbs.
Your alternator belt is now installed.
You may now proceed with installing your power steering belt.

You will need to feed the belt up from the bottom, turning the belt sideways to slide it between the chassis and the crankshaft pulley.
Place the belt on the power steering pump pulley. then go below and slide the belt onto the smaller diameter pulley like pictured below.

Inspect both pulleys to ensure the belt is properly installed on both the crankshaft pulley and the power steering pulley.
Once you are certain the belt is installed properly, proceed with tightening the 10mm power steering adjuster bolt. Checking for proper defection every few turns.

Once you have achieved proper belt deflection, tighten the 12mm bottom power steering pump nut. I tightened mine to what I believe to be 30ftlbs.
Tighten the 14mm top power steering bolt. I tightened mine to what I believe to be 45ftlbs.

Your power steering belt is now installed.
Put the 10mm bolt back in the splash shield.
