tried to replace belt and...
i tried to replace my airconditioner belt, but i couldnt break the nuts on the pulleys loose at all. I think they are a little corroded due to salt here in HI. anyone have any ideas?

I don't have the car in my garage right now, but what size are the bolts? If they're pretty big try a breaker bar. If you can't budge it with that try alot of wd-40 and than heat it up. If no of that works, and you don;t have access to a air gun find a way to extend your socket or wrench by putting a klonger hollow metal tube over it, thereby extending your leverage. DO THIS LAST, you run the chance of actually breaking the bolt. It's pretty unlikely it would break, but I;ve broken one in the past so not impossible. Then you;re stuck drilling it out, not fun!
Good luck

i think the problem is getting leverage and countertorque on the nut becuase of the position. there is not very much room between the pulley and the fans. i am going to try again tomorrow though
