I have a 98 civic lx with the stock d16y7 and I need to replace the ac belt. Ive seen some write-ups about changing the timing belt that mention removing or installing the ac belt but nothing too descriptive. I know I have to remove the motor- or torque-mount on the driver side by the fender well but not sure about what to remove or loosen to get the belt off. There is a belt in front of it I know has to come out first but not sure how to get it off. Any help would be appreciated.

 

You also need to remove the power steering belt. The A/C belt loosens and tightens via the idler pulley.

 

Is there a write-up on how to take those belts off and loosen and tighten the pulley?

 

Pics would be greatly appreciated too

 

I'm going to try to tackle this first thing so any specific info would be appreciated. Just starting to warm up again and I def want to have ac working
