Hi Steve,

The alternator belt is easy enough to change but one of the possible causes for
catastrophic belt failure is a siezed water pump. You might want to check this
first because you're just wasting time and effort changing the belt if the water
pump ain't going to turn anyway. You can guess how I know this..............
