power steering or alternator belt?
 
a rs does not have a serpentine belt. it has two belts ps and alt. they are both very easy to install. loosen the pulley and adjust the tnesion bolt. too easy.
 
^^^ it is extremly easy. I have replaced my powersteering/AC belt on the side of the road with just a 10mm ratchet
 
powersteering belt is the one that broke...so I just loosen the tension pulley? and tigten it back up? do I need a torque wrench?

nope, i think there is 2 bolts for the front tensioner, but i dunno its been a while. ill check when i get home
 
yeah man, it's cake. I watched my buddy do both his belts on his 99rs in like 15 minutes, with simple tools like they said. :thumb:
 
Awesome, that's what we like to hear :rocks:
