I checked the belts carefull today, since they have been loud lately and saw that they are reddish in color and even closer inspection shows that there are tiny cracks in the belts.. all of them. I dont' know what belts they are but they are all in rough shape.. where can I get replacements and which replacements do I need? I'm not looking to spend too much, this is my daily driver/ beater for now.

Thanks.

 

Powersteering is the single small belt. If you have ac, Alternator and AC belt , i bought mine from napa. Btw the ac and alternator belt is really fun to put on but the Power steering belt is extremely easy. Have fun

 

Yeah, I have an A/C. It's Easy? Fun? Bah, heh. I just took a look and it looks like a pain in the ***! There's barely any space to put the new belts on.

BTW, I purchased the following from AutoZone:
Gatorback 4050420 ALT & A/C 17.59
Gatorback 4040400 Power Steering 13.99

Anyone know how to install them or have tips? What do I do?
BTW, this is for an H23. TIA

 

I'm going outside to try this out. I think there's a way to mess with the tension on the ac compressor pulley from this other thread I read.

I smell another DIY

 

for the alternator ac belt you'll need a 14mm for the top, 12mm for the bottom, 10mm the 10mm is the tensioner bolt. For the Ps belt you need a 10mm for the tensioner and the other three are 12mm. Good luck

 

sounds like a good reason to OWN a manual for te car you own,

 

Yeah, I couldn't find a fsm for mine on ebay though. I've had a Factory Service Manual for every car I've had. Can someone post up a pic? It's too dark to attempt this today, I'm going to take a crack at it tomorrow morning.
