Changing belts?

Is there a website that shows how to change the belts in our car...they're starting to squeel and they need to be changed. I know that one of them, you have to take off your passanger side tire, but I can't remember what else. Thanks

Are you sure its your belts and not your starter? I thought my belts were squeeling. It would only do it momentarily on cold starts. But I have new belts, so i tried re-tensioning the belts and it didnt work. Im pretty sure its my starter. I tried to remove the starter and repack the grease on the one-way clutch. I couldnt get the 17mm bolt off. Im going to try again with some bigger tools (+100 ft.lbs)

haha, i did opposite to what you did. First i thought it was my starter, so i took it out and cleaned out old grease and regreased it with new grease, but i still hear the "Wheeeeeeeeee~" noise. So i let my dad start the car and i tried to find out where the sound is coming from. I figure the sound is coming from the belt, but i just replaced the belt few days ago...looks like the shopt didn't tensioned my belt very well.

and that 17mm bolt, you might need 140+ ft.lbs to losen it. I used my torque wrench to losen it. I had to go over the limit of my torque wrench which was 140 ft.lbs
