Changing Power Steering Belt. 99 Avensis Td.

    The power steering belt in my 99 Avensis TD started to squeal like a pig a couple of days ago, also the steering is very sloppy when it squeals. I had a look at the belt and it was pretty obvious that it had seen better days. I don't really want to shell out cash to a mechanic to do what seems to be a pretty easy job so I got a replacement belt and I am going to do it myself. As far as I can see all that I would have to do is loosen the tension wheel bolt to take the tension off the belt, take off the old belt, put on the new one and re-tension.. Am I on the right track?. If so, is there anything else I will need to do?.

    Auxillary belts usually cost buttons and are easy to change. I'd be worried about the timing belt because no competant person would change a timing belt without changing the auxillary belts. At the very least, get the timing belt covers off and inspect the timing belt if you're going near it at all.
