Hey guys. I noticed one of my belts is a little ripped on my 99 civic si and i would like to replace it. I have a couple of questions

1. First, im guessing this is the a/c belt?
2. Should I get an OEM honda one or are other ones okay?
3. Anyone have a Honda part number for it?
4. How many belts are on the car in total (excluding timing belt)? and what are the names of them lol. Should i just replace them all or wait untill they rip?
5. How hard is the install?
6. How much does the belt usually run and how much to install it if i cant do it myself?

Sorry for the crappy pic but this is it.



Thanks

Looks like the power steering belt.

The one on the photo is the Power Steering pump belt, part# 56992-P2A-003

Yo can use any brand of belt, i reccomend Goodyear

Your Si has 2 other belts: the A/C Belt and the Alternator Belt

You can get all 3 for about $20 bucks, replace it.

That's actually the power steering belt. Aside from the timing belt, the other external belts are the alternator and a/c belt.

The install isn't that hard, although if you guessed this was the a/c belt, I'm assuming you might not be too mechanically inclined. Plus it needs to be adjusted properly, which needs a special tool or, at the very least, experienced feel.

lol. I didnt put much thought into which belt it was but now that I look I feel stupid. Anyway I looked on some websites that sell OEM honda parts and they list the power steering belt with 2 part numbers. One under the power steering diagram and one under the a/c diagram. Im guessing they made a mistake and these are the correct part numbers. Can anyone verify?

Power Steering Belt - 56992-P2T-003
Alternator Belt - 31110-P2T-004
Air Conditioner Belt - 56992-P2A-003

Also roughly how much should it cost for someone to install these belts?

Thanks for all the help.

yes those are the correct part numbers. it calls two of them p.s. belts because your car's a/c uses the same belt as EK d series p.s. pumps do.

you can go to autozone or schucks and get a ac belt, alternator belt and power steering belt since your replacing it, do it all at once to save time/trouble in the future. i got all 3 of them in my old civic at schucks for like 25 bucks, and it worked great. no need to go to honda and get jipped

i agree with power steering

just take the belt and pump out and drive w/o power steering.. very good response from tires to ur hands

Yeah that's power steering, personally I like honda original products but, I'm just dumb like that, an aftermarket belt will work just fine though, definitely go ahead and replace the others while you're at it though.
