Well I have the day off work and am feeling a little riskay. I order a serpentine belt and front brake pads and they have arrived,now to install. I have the directions on how to change both but I have no clue on how to access the part of the engine with all the pulleys and tensioners. How do I access the side of the engine to change the belt? Is the serpentine belt a novice job,it doesn't seem too complicated? Also on the brake pad change do I have use a new retaining pin,spring clip and cotter pin when installing new pads?
