Looking to replace the v belts on my 87 R10 for the power steering and ac compressor. Anyone have any info. on removal and install. (Easiest way to tighten the belts once installed). Thanks for any advice / input.

Tension by feel. There are tools to measure it but never had or used one. Just get them reasonably tight, should only be able to deflect belt with pressure a 1/2" or so midway between pullys. If the belts are too loose, they will let you know. squeal
