Belt Broke!! Help Need Immediately

Hey, Guys

I just started my car today and herd this awfull tapping noise on the front and got out and poped my hood and noticed one of the belts were broken,

Anyone know how to release the tensionors to remove the belts? how to remove both tensoners,

Anyone got a belt diagram so I know how to feed them back on correctly,

Is this possible a 1 man job or a shop job?

What tools are needed, thanks

Changing your belts would be the same, changing the powersteering and A/C belt would be the same as Underdrive pully chaning

I would start by wondering why the belt broke in the first place.

My main belt broke because the crank pulley craked and shifted the belt so that it hit the power steering belt. Fortunately it was the main belt that broke and not the PS.
