Can someone please instruct me or tell me where I can get instructions on how to install a belt on the A/C system...?? The belt broke before i bought the car and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do it.I also may have a problem,that is ,is the crankshaft pulley supposed to have a "groove"or tunnel for the belt to fit on?It looks like where you put the belt on the A/C compressor then the crankshaft pulley,it seems there is nothing to stop the belt from flying off,I hope this is all making sense,the bottom line is the a/c belt is off and where the belt would connect to the crankshaft pulley there is nothing to prevent it from flyin off sideways.Also,if the crankshaft pulley needs replacing how hard would it be to find a replacement and where to go??I appreciate any help i can get,and if possible if i could get pictures of how to do it due to my complete and utter inexperience at doing anything mechanical(with this car I'm learning,lol.)Thanks.
