It's not a technical job, but I could not find any info online about how to go about it. A few people said to remove the fan to get the belts on and off, but I realized that all you have to do is remove the 4 bolts holding the fan shroud on, pull it forward away from the radiator, and you can now slip the belts in between the fan and the radiator. The link can be found under the "maintenence" section on my website, or at this link

Joe or any other mods, would you be interested in publishing this to 4x4wire's maintenence section? I know it would have helped me get the job done quicker and easier. I get emails daily from people thanking me for saving them money by using the articles I've written on power steering, alternator, and starter repair. I thought this would be another way to save some money, as I've heard of dealers wanting to charge $250 to change belts.

Hope this helps someone!
