Well first off I would recommend a dual alt belt pully since you have the air pump remove.



Now onto the removal. you need to remove the belts in front of the alternator, which is ALL of the belts. Loosen the bolt on the power steering pump and remove it, loosen the belt on the A/C pump and remove, then remove the alt belt.



It's a pain in the ass. You will have to fart around with them to clear the fan, but you'll get it, just work the belt between the blades.

Lol you noticed my Air Injection Pump bracket.

Thanks for your help.

So I would also have to work the new belts around the fan as well?

Yup, it's not that difficult basically drop the belt over one blade and work it around the fan. If it were me I would prolly go ahead and replace them all, but that's just me.

I agree. I will replace em' all.

Thank You for your Help.



My local Advance Auto Parts should be able to have the drivebelts for the RX-7 right?

It is indeed possible.

Which bolt loosens the power steering drivebelt?

I took out this bolt but it still didn't seem to move that pulley up or down.

The successful install!



First I loosened these nuts.

Then once they became loose, I loosened the adjusting bolts. These bolts adjusts the pulleys either up or down.

Now with the Power steering drivebelt and the AC Drivebelt, you can take off those drivebelts under the pulleys.



then I loosened the alternator bolts

Now you take off the drivebelt and once you do, bring the drivebelt over the fanblades and work it around until it comes off. Same goes for installation.



Thank You for All your help.

you got the alternator bolt right, but no need to loosen the pulleys. the belts are tightened by the power steering pump ad the a/c compressor
