terpentine belt? perhaps you mean "S"erpentine belt, or more commonly referred to as the accessory/alternator belt.

Yes - its easy to do (mostly) and the howto is in the "How to Sticky" - what a surpise!

I'm sure even the freaking owner's manual shows you how to do that...

My point is that you don't know what you are talking about! Move on.

Here's an online FSM. Look at page 10 of the MA section.

And I take it that the owner's manual showed you how to do all that as well as change the belts?

I was simply suggesting that the owner's manual would not show how to replace the belts, thereby refuting your comment. My suggestion that you did not know what you are talking about related to the contents of the owner's manual off the top of your head. Nothing more, nothing less!

Now the Haynes manual is another matter.

No need to be a smart-a$$. The reason i said the owners manual thing was because i was trying to say that the info was easy to find, not that it was literally in the owners manual. I wouldn't know either way since i haven't looked at the manual in ages.
