Changing Drive Belts

I need to change both of them, I searched the board and I wasn't successful, so here is my question. What level of difficulty are we talking about? Anyone have a DIY walkthrough of the operation. I am mostly concerned about the tension on the belts. Is that something to be overly worried about? Thanks for your input and answers!

-Rob

it's only a little tough, the main one that drives the ac and alternator is very easy, the power steering is not so easy. i would say look up for a FSM and download it.

If you're referring to the A/C/ALT---------> ..................

Make sure you loosen the pulley nut.
