i don't understand... are you looking for someone to come out & put it on for you? I mean.. tools + bolts + turn +time = fixed!

Hehehe, c'mon doods, lighten up

OK, the DOHC engine (Is your car '91 or newer?). The belt for the fan and water pump is also connected to the power steering pump. There are two bolts you need to deal with, both 14mm iirc. One is on the backside of the tensioner (below the ps pump) which just needs to be loosened. The other is on the end of the tensioner. This one needs to be loosened and loosened and loosened (untill you can get the belt back in place) as it is a long *** bolt.

Once your belt is back in place, tighten it back up again so on the longer stretch of belt you can't quit flip the belt upside down using your hand. Tighten the backside bolt to lock it into position once you're done.

Have a happy day.
