geo, I followed your advise and hit the pulleys with some 220 grit, then I wiped down everything with a clean cloth and installed the three new belts. Started her up and she runs beautifully. no sounds, squeals, whines, nada. I tightened the tensioners and the ps pump to give the 2 vbelts about a 1/4 inch play. Hope that's within spec. Another problem solved. Now it looks like my next monty adventure will be the front brakes, as they are starting their own little noise as of late........
