"Alternator" belt just snapped!
 

Hey all! I'm new here so you've probably discussed this already. Alt. belts been squeakin' 'bout a year now. I know I'm an idiot for not changing it sooner! Finally snapped today. Christmas eve of course! Can I change the belt myself? Difficult? Got a 2002 Accent, GS. Thanks! Oh yeah, is this also the drive belt?

RE:
 

Yes, you can do it.

pick up a repair manual, if you're not sure if you can do it yourself its time to do some research ;)

Thanks all! Decided it wasn't worth the trouble (nothing is going right for me lately)! Took Chitty Chitty Bang Bang to a mech. $89, one and a half hours later, runs great! I would have been at it for days!

Oh yeah! Have to say, took the car to the dealer 'bout a year ago and was told I would just have to live with the squeaking belts! Normal for my car! Not going to a dealer ever again! Can't believe I was listening to that for a whole year, spraying belt dressing all over the place!
