Default AC belt broke off, should i upgrade? how hard to re-install

Well i found that my ac belt is busted and off the pulleys. My ac has been weak lately, now i know why. Just wondering how hard it is to install the new pulley.

Also should i consider getting a crank pulley and new both new belts. My car has <34k miles, is it time for belt changing ? How hard is it to install the new belt. Looks like i have to take the main belt off, soften the tensioner, put belt on, and make everything good again?

Which crank pulley shall i get? full set of pulleys? is it worth.

My belts are pretty cracked too. Replacement instructions would be appreciated.

just search for crank pulley threads.....i'm sure you 'll find the answer fast.
try order the UR underdrive pulley with replacment belts.
you'll need an eighteen inch or longer breaker bar plus a 19mm socket for the job. Just follow the instructions that come with the UR ultra S pulley.
it takes about an hour to do if your handy with tools. There is enough clearance to access the pulley bolt with a short socket. Good luck.
