Alternator Belt
 
Okay, I know this is probably an simple question here, but my Alternator belt is starting to squeel on me, so it's time to replace it. I've got the belt, but not sure as how to loosen the old one and put the new one on... Any help? Thanks!

By the way, it's a SOHC engine...

i've done this before, the alternator belt is an easy one. there's a bolt on top of the alternator you need to loosen, and then loosen the bottom one (you can't see it, it's the pivot bolt.) then the alternator should push towards the block enough to get the belt off.

Thanks! Sounds easy. I remember seeing that bolt on the Alternator, just looks to be a tight squeeze... Will have to get in there with an open socket wrench.
Thanks again!
