Drive Belt Replacement

Hi there. New to the forum!

While changing the altenator on the wife's 1993 Civic, I decided to do the drive belts as long as I was under there. I got the AC belt off, but cant seem to get the main belt (power steering) off. I cant find the tensioner, am I missing something? I have a Haynes manual, but it's not real specific on this. Thanks in advance!

PS yes I did a search but didnt find what I was looking for

Service manual recommends replacing the drive belts every 30K miles.

HOLY CRAP! Really?! i've never heard of a lowly 30K timing belt. I've always been a Toyota man (Camry, Corolla, Supra, MR2, MR2-Supercharged) and they were all 60k per belt, hmmm... I just bought the car a mont ago and it's at 150K, perhaps I should get that done ASAP.

30K miles for drive belts not timing belt. The timing belt is replaced at about 100K miles.

See, I got that one. It's the outermost belt attached to the AC compressor. I'm at the middle belt now which I assume is for the power steering, It's the only one with 3 pulleys. Thats the one I can figure out how to get off

The outer one is the power steering belt.

The middle one is the A/C belt. Loosen the center nut on the idler puller and then loosen the adjuster bolt above the idler pulley to remove the belt. You also need to remove the torque mount to get the belt off and on.
