Easiest way to remove a drive belt and power steering belt

Hi,

You have to remove the front wheel and inner fender to access it. Here are the directions. The attached pics correlate with the directions. The second set of directions are for the PS pump. You are going to either laugh when you see them or be really frustrated. You have to remove the headlamp assembly and the air box assembly. There is no tensioner. Take a look at the directions and let me know if you have questions.

Just a quick question. What components are you looking for to be located in the engine compartment? I have attached a picture of the serpentine belt diagram and a tutorial showing how to replace it. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions if needed. Thanks for using 2CarPros.

If serpentine belt is not turning then everything else is not turning including your water pump. Need to find out why the belt is not turning, may be a seized up bearing or the A/C compressor may be seized up. First have to find out why the belt is not turning, check the tension-er for the belt.
