So, I go to replace the 1005's and I snap the tensioning bolt because I don't put a wrench on the forward side and the counter torque snaps the threads right off.
Finally get back to it about four months later and it takes three hours to carefully remove the fan, remove the p/s belt, remove the a/c belt, install the the two alternator belts, install the fan, install the the a/c belt, install the p/s belt.
I agree..........it's the absolute biggest PITA that I have ever seen. A mechanic would need $300. in labor to change the alternator belts on the latest models of SD.
