Lost the belt today, got to drive home in the snow without any Power Steering

I've got the belt, now I just need to install it. Heard something about auto tension. Is this replacement something that can be done outside of the Mechanic Shop? Has anyone done this themselves? Spent the last hour or so, browsing online with no luck. Any links or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Even a belt diagram would help.

 

I just replaced mine - it was pretty quick and easy. I took off the passenger side front fender well (about 6 quick screws) for access.You should be alright without a diagram - isn't like the big serpintine belts you see on some truck engines.

 

autozone ect prints out directions/diagrams for you ...
the auto tensioner needs to be twisted back ten held with a pin(Iused a round punch) then belt railed then release the pin to tension

 

Give this link a try.
