fan belt change help
ok, well i was driving up the summit yesterday and all of a sudden, the lights for the alt. came on and it started overheating. well i snapped the fan belt, and had to be towed home. i have a new belt, but i cant seem to figure out how to get past the first 2 belts to get it on. i searched, but there are no specific explanations for this. any help would be awesome. thanks!

ummm, you'll have to take the AC and PS belt off first... there's no other way around it, sorry to say
if it helps, here's some pics of the belt routing

that tension bolt makes it much easier to set your belt tension...without one, you need a pry bar to get your tension pulley tight enough to keep the belt from screeching, esp starting cold
