Message	iirc, the alternator/water pump belt is the rear most belt. The others should have to come off to replace the alternator. There should be no extra labor to replace the belts, since they're already coming off to do the alternator ********************************************************* Joe Engine Rebuild in Progress: Sport 530bb's + Inconel :-) AIM: hoyatiger81 "No, let's listen to you with your $600 blow off valvers [sic] that do nothing for your performance, but make a nice loud sneezing sound.
