Tightened the original belt up earlier and it snapped got a new one coming tomorrow how easy to it to fit one? Would the radiator have to come off and do you need to remove the power steering belt i found tightening it was easy

I changed the power steering belt and alternator belt without removing anything, just slacken the alternator off and its fairly straightforward.

The power steering belt does have a tensioner that needs to be slackened off and re-tensioned and obviously it comes off first and goes on last. Be very careful of touching the rad core and quite honestly the time it takes to remove and fit is well worth the extra hassle and drama of scrapped knuckles etc

I'd remove the radiator, done it a couple of times and it makes life a lot handier. You'd need the dexterity of a midwife otherwise.

Is it easy to do? What about putting it back on do you have to bleed it etc
