look at the belts towards the left side of the engine.
The Power Steering pump in the front of the engine you must loosen up two bolts
-one close to the top on the bracket
-one screwed on the bottom on the side with a longer screw going through it.
-Once you loosen up the side bolt screw the long one untill you see that the pump moves a bit towards the engine.
The altenator has a bolt on top and on bottom that you have to get under the car to losen up. Theres another long bolt on top that points towards the back of the car screw that one untill you see the alternator move.
once you do that, you should feel the belts loose and easy to remove.
do this backwards to install
