Aircon belt

[Manbeast]

Hi All - what is the steps needed to replace a broken aircon belt on a 2008 VXR8? Its thrown itself and got snagged and its snapped. I'm aware there is a longer term fix for this but if I wanted to replace the belt quickly is it something I can do myself? I'm unsure of best approach to get a new belt on behind the existing belt and what to remove? I've attached an image if anyone can explain? thanks.

It's just a matter of removing main serp belt and fitting a new air con belt, both are on sprung tensioners.

Put a 15mm socket /spanner on the bolt circled red turn clockwise and the whole pulley will move this will release the main serpentine belt then same again on the bolt circled blue to remove aircon belt

as long as you have modified the air con to the gas station air con tensioner mod. early vxr8s did not have this mod so it threw off belts.
