Been searching the boards on here and found some good threads that are a few years old so thought I'd just post this instead of reviving an old one.
I'm down to one alternator/fan belt and the one I have is cracked and missing tread so it's pretty much done.
I was going to do them myself but have gotten stumped a few times. First I need to remove the A/C belt on the bottom. I unscrewed the tension bolt on the bottom but still wasn't much slack (at least not enough to pull it off).
Assuming I can get that off I know I have to loosen the two bolts under the alternator to get those belts off but what about the fan? Do I simply slip the belt over the fan onto the assembly? I tried removing the bolts on the fan but my wrench just turned the entire unit instead of the nuts.
Sorry it's pretty rudimentary of me but I'm close to selling the truck so don't want to spend $150 at the shop to replace when I can do it in an hour if I can get some guidance.
Pics or diagrams would be much appreciated. Thanks!
