----------This will help. Thanks.

It is close to your alternator, on the same belt. If you took your alernator off, you would be able to access it.

with a spanner 12-14 mm

there is an adjustment on the alternator to adjust the tension of the belt,you will have to let the adjustment off, fit the new belt then re adjust the tension....hope this helps....cheers

loosen bolts on power steering pump 12mm and 14mm
should be 2-3 nuts, remove bolts(10mm) holding largw power steering hose to gain aeasier acess to alernator.
lossen alternator top bolt 14 0r 12mm lossen lower alternator bolt 17-19mm

UNDO THE BOLT PUSH THE ALERNATOR TOWARDS THE ENGINE REPLACE THE BELT USE A BAR AGAINST THE ENGINE AND ALTERNATOR PULL IT JUST TIGHT AND DO UP THE BOLT

I just looked at my '04 xB. It looks very straight forward.
loosen the bolt that holds the alternator to the bracket.
carefully slide the alt to the bottom. (Also be aware of the plug and wires on the alt.They should never hold the weight of the alternator. You dont want them breaking prematurely.)
Pull the belt off, remove the belt from the crank shaft pulley.

Do the reverse, and you will have replaced the belt.

Make sure to check the belt in about a week or so.
New belts will stretch over time. Make sure you keep the tension tight enough to work correctly, but not so tight that the alernator shaft is warped.
I usually place the new belt on both pulleys and give a good "medium" pull on the alt while tightening. Find the middle of the belt and squeeze them together, depending on the type and length of the belt, there should be about 1/4" of flex on both sides.

It could be a coincidence but check(in the direction of the belt) the pulley before and after the P/S pulley. All three should be exactly inline. Reset the belt. Start the engine, and safely watch the pulleys. The belt should ride in the center of every pulley. If you notice the belt drift to one side and/or drift from front to back, then you may have a bad bearing.
