I did my belts today in less than an hour.
Did you loosen the locking bolts on the tension bolts on the power steering and alternator? And when you come to the alternator loosen up the bottom bolt to be able to swing it back and forth. Also the tensioner for the A/C is its own locking bolt so make sure to loosen it up. Everything is 14mm. Pretty simple even on my corroded bolts. haha
