Ok so I just had one question before I do this. The book/the guy at autozone made it seem a little too easy.

I get that you undue the 3 bolts and take out the two connectors and all the basics, my main question is regarding the belt. How will I know if the belt is properly put back on/tight enough? Is there a special tool I'll need or can I do it myself?

Thanks,

Matthew

its pretty much a guess.
tighten the belt untill you can't push it more than 3/4-inch down in the center w/ moderate force.
if it squeeks, tighten the belt more
