Ok, I think I narrowed it down to the belt that goes around the ac pump (not the power steering and alt), how easy is it to change???? I need to change it, its so annoying

pull alt belt off, there are two bolts holding the tensioner one on the back, and one of the front. It's not too bad.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

is the tensioner the pulley right below the one for the condensor pump one (the one on top)? So there is a bolt in front, ...AND IN BACK?????"To Find yourself, you must first lose yourself"

Yes, that's correct. 14 or 13mm in the back. 14 or 15 at in the front for a pivot. There's actually a square to put a belt tensioner tool in, but you'll have to have your other hand on the back bolt to tighten it to hold tension.
I've always had a little issue putting the new a/c belt on fitting it between the water pump pulley and the big lip in the middle of the crank pulley really sucks.Comment

14 mm on the back and the front. Once you see how it work it should make sense.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

Ok, so you don't have to use a tensioner tool (AKA tire iron) to tension the belt?
Those bolts are on that pulley right below the AC condensor (top pulley)?"To Find yourself, you must first lose yourself"

Looking around I found this:
I only recently found out about the 1/2 drive to tighten the tensioner, and never knew the combo wrench on the alt (I always used a tire iron too).

only if they are rusty or coated with something. If thats the case, a wire brush should do the job just fine.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
