Actually, only the AC/alternator belt was very bad, the steering wheel belt was in good condition, but I decided to replace both, because the car has barely 45,000 miles and still about two years to replace the timming belt, so, I don't want to remove the belts again until the day I must replace the timming belt. I gave a look to the timming belt and still look very good, no signs of deterioration at all.

Well, thank you bluelighnin6, and a million thanks KHlow2008, I replaced the belts, check for the proper tension, and the car is running great. Here are the pictures of the pulley with the new nut installed, the new belts in place, and the motor running and belts working properly.

I took some additional pictures, and I might answer the question asked above mine, about changing belts. I'm not a mechanic, neither an expert, but I will try to show the process step by step.

Being here is a great experience.

Thank you guys.
