Presume that you have Ac & Power Steering, w/o AC is similar. 1. Drive car onto ramp. 2. Under the car, remove dirtguard underneath Ac compressor.(10mm bolts) 3. Outside the car (right front wheel), look through wheelwell between AC compressor & power steering you will see 14mm nut that lock tension bolt, loosen it couple turns. 4. Loosen tension bolt (12mm) as necessary. 5. From top of car, loosen top power steering bolt (14mm). (I use magnetic pickup to help put 14mm socket through hole in pulley of power steering pump.) 6. Now you can move power steering pump & take out serpentine belt. 7. Loosen alternator bottom bolt (14mm) & tension bolt (12mm) to take out v-belt.
Secondly... for those of you who have a 1994-1997 Mazda Protege with A/C, and your AC compressor has seized up (breaking the belt in the process).... you can actually bypass the A/C!!! Just pick up the belt that is meant for Mazda Protege's that did not come with A/C.
The Autozone guys told me it wouldn't work, but I just finished putting one on with the outstanding directions listed above!

Why Mazda Protege won't charge battery?
One of two things is normally wrong. Either the battery has a dead cell and will not accept a charge, or the alternator is defective. With the engine running at idle check the voltage at the battery with a digital voltmeter set to the 20 Volt DC scale. If the alternator is good you should read from 13.5 to 15.5 Volts. If the alternator has a separate drive belt then it is possible the drive belt is broken.
