I have searched, and couldn't find the right info.
Well, I'm getting into some maintenance stuff now that i have a job (though don't get paid til Friday, but whatever) and I decided to do the belts because the alt belt has huge chunks missing and I'll replace the p/s belt also since I have to take it off anyway.
Main question, how the hell do these belts come loose?
It looks like the p/s pump is what keeps the belt tight, so I loosened the bolts, but the pump didn't budge. I can see a bolt behind the pulley and it looks like that is what the pump pivots on, but I just can't get to it. I've WD40'd everything pretty much, even went at it with a hammer (sort of) and still nothing moved. So I tightened it all back up and decided to ask the Protege masters here for tips. I huess the reason this thing hasn't fallen apart is because of all the rusted bolts, haha.
