Replacing Alternator belt on GT 40

I'm headed out this afternoon to replace my alternator belt on my 2000 SAN. Can anyone give me some advice on how to and what tools I may need?

A wrench or socket set and you're good to go.

Bryan - Be careful how much you tension the belt. Too much tension will fail the bearing. It should have about 1/2 inch of deflection between pulleys with heavy thumb pressure. On the other extreme, check to see it is tight enough by putting a socket wrench on the alternator pulley nut & make sure you can't slip it against the belt.

Good luck
