Default replacing drive belts

Fellas,
I need help on replacing my drive belt. Can someone show me how to do this job? Did someone made a write up about this already? Any help would be appreciate. (I'm planning to replace all the belts, I wanted to know how tight they needed to be...) Thanks

I see you have just 17 posts, so here's a mercy link:
http://www.pelicanparts.com/bmw/tech...eplacement.htm

If you'll visit the Knowledge Base and read through those posts, or try searching the previous threads on the topics you're interested in (belt replacement, brake fluid flush) you'll learn a tremendous amount of info about maintaining your car.

Happy Holidays!

The water pump/power steering/alternator belt has a spring loader tensioner that maintains the right tension. The AC belt has a tensioner that you can adjust, just tighten it until it feels as tight as the other belt.
