The answer is no you would have to take off the auxiliary belt or at least slip it off the main pulley out of the way to change the A/C belt, always best to change them together so whom who ever changed the auxiliary missed a chance Mine was the other way round auxiliary belt cracked, must have been on for ages before i purchased the car.

Well technically yes, but as Steve says you have to remove the serpentine belt to get to the aircon belt, so worth changing it whilst you are there.

24mm but it has to be a thin spanner as there isn’t much room to get in.

Worth buying a set of aviation ring key spanners - they are nice and long so you can get plenty of purchase on them. Cheap enough on Ebay.
You can see one in Steve's photos numbers 4 and 5 above. . Last edited by Mike Noc; 21st September 2020 at 09:39.. |

My 24mm flat spanner was the best thing I ever bought for my ZT - made the job a doddle!
