I need to change the belt. There is a engine mount shaft running from the AC compressor under the body frame. The AC belt goes around the mount shaft. Do I have to remove the compressor mount bolts? How do I get the belt off with minimal work?

I just support the engine with a block of wood on a jack and unbolt the mount. lift the engine enough to slip the belt through and replace. then lower the engine and tighten the mount.

alphalanos, thanks for the reply. I searched thru old posts and could not find the answer but did find the solution late yesterday in old posts. The lower engine mount (half-moon shape), drivers side, has to be removed to change the AC belt. To remove the mount: Remove the 19mm mount shaft bolt, Remove the (2) 14mm bolts on the mount. The mount will slide off. Change the AC belt.

Would be really nice if someone could put this in the FAQ
