help with ac belt

[VinceSez]

I tried searching but I couldn't find anything on changing the ac belt. I've already changed out the other two belts on my 92 240, but I need help with the ac belt. I tried removing the bolts holding the ac compressor in, but they won't come out. Am I supposed to remove the ac compressor to put on the belt?

I am not positive, but isn't the tensioner just below the compressor itself?Should be one lock down bolt and one for the actual tension. I have a KAE, I am assuming the DE is similar.

The adjusment pully is half way between the crank pully and the compressor pully and is lower than both. Loosen the nut at the center of the pully, then loosen the bolt that is under pully, pointed up, to release the tension on the belt.

Not to sound like a d!ck, but search more, or buy the Chiltons manual. If you search hard enough you will find the FSM (factory service manual) for your car.
