Easiest Way to Change the Belts?

Any help appreciated. THanks

Belts are almost always done the same way with the exception of the A/C belt which likely uses a seperate tensioner between the crank pulley and the A/C pulley. The alternator and PS should require you to loosen (not remove) the bolt that it will pivot on. There will be a bracket holding the PS and Alt in place with a long bolt going the straight down the bracket with a bolt going though the bracket. The long bolt is what is used to adjust the tension of the PS and Alt but before turning it you will need to loosen the bolt that holds the tensioning bolt to the bracket. If you don't then it won't slide easily. Its also the reason why you loosen the bolt where they pivot. Otherwise they won't move easily and it makes things almost impossible. The SR20DET in the Silvia uses three belts if you still have your AC. The GTI-R SR20DET uses two belts whether you have A/C or not. That's a vague explanation of how you do it. Its actually pretty easy once you remove the clutch fan and the radiator shroud so you can see.
