it wasnt that hard to find on the site...all you had to do was search site for a few minutes...took me about 1

 

thank u so much for the quick reply but u gave me da wrong site,i want to change the belt not the whole altenator thank u for lookin out for me,once again i need u again. no homo hahaha

 

you don't know how to replace a belt?
That's a basic maintance(sp?) thing
Even a chiltons manual will tell you how to do it

 

thank u so much for the help by the way this is my first car n im only 19

 

look at that link, go through the first 11 steps and you can get the belt off
also,check out the how-to for installing an underdrive pulley, it also talks about how to remove belts. I'm not gonna give you the direct link though because it looks like you could use some practice on the internet.

I'd suggest getting a Haynes or Chiltons manual at PepBoys or wherever to help out with basic car stuff. It's only $15 or so and will help a lot.
