yeah, i just did mine. if you dont want to change them, you can tighten your serp belt without even getting under your car. its a little tight loosening the pully but you can do it from above. but i would change it if you can. the serp belt can be done in about 15 minutes. power steering belt is a hassle though, took me a bit to get that done.
