Toyota Repair: changing belts, toyota celica, bad shape


Question
1984 toyota celica Gt,i need to know the procedure for replacing all 3 belts. i am changing the water pump and noticed the belts were in bad shape.   thank you dean

Answer
Remove the power steering belt first by loosening the nut on the front of the idler pulley and then turning the adjustment bolt to loosen the pulley so the belt can be removed, loosen the adjustment bolt on the alternator, it's underneath, and pry the alternator towards the engine block to move it to get the belt off, remove the a/c belt if so equipped, this is done by loosening the idler pulley underneath just like the P/S pump idler pulley, remove the lower shield to get to the idler pulley.
