I can loosen them fine. The question is why would I want to do it. Because
I did it before on a much older vehicle. Oh well, can't be right all the
time. Jon's right! He's also one of the 900 lb gorillas ;-) Follow his
directions and you'll be done in no time. Make sure you do what he says:
Pay attention to routing. Your water pump doesn't push water well going in
the opposite direction.

Hey Ron, how you plannin on loosening the alt and a/c compressor? ;)
Punch, grab a 15mm socket and the longest ratchet you can find, more
leverage you get the easier it'll go. Just pay attention how it's routed
(there should be a belt diagram under the hood), remove and replace... easy
as pie

Make sure you loosen the tensioner, alternator, compressor, etc. Even with
that it's going to be a tight squeeze. You'll need to put some pressure on
to tighten it but, if you're a 900 lb gorilla take it easy. Too tight will
prematurely wear out the bearings on your various accessory components.

difference??
