Changing the Belts
Vehicle Info
- 98 Civic EX Coupe
- D16Y8
- Manual trans
- 186K Miles
- AC/PS
Searched around the forum but could only find a DIY on timing belts. Does anyone have diagrams on how to change the three serpentine belts? I'm not going to be able to do it. Got hurt in a car accident. So my bro is the unlucky one that I've volunteered.

Going from memory:
Remove the splash guard and driver-side torque mount.
Loosen power steering pump mount bolts and remove PS belt.
Loosen center nut of A/C idler pulley and loosen belt by turning the idler pulley adjusting bolt. Remove A/C belt.
Loosen upper and lower alternator mount bolts. Remove alternator belt.
Reverse order for installation. You will need a pry bar (or something equivalent) to tighten the alternator and PS belts.
