How do I replace the serpentine belt? - 1999 Kia Sephia

1.8L Engine

1. Using a belt tension gauge, measure the drive belt tension and compare with the following specifications:
   1. Alternator belt (new): 86-103 lbs. (383-461 N)
      
   2. Alternator belt (used): 68-86 lbs. (304-383 N)
      
   3. A/C compressor and power steering pump belt (new): 110-132 lbs (491-589 N)
      
   4. A/C compressor and power steering pump belt (used): 95-110 lbs. (422-491 N)

2. Using the deflection method, apply moderate pressure (about 22 lbs) halfway between the pulleys, and compare with the following specifications.
   1. Alternator belt (new): 0.31-0.35 in. (8-9mm)
   Alternator belt (used): 0.35-0.39 in. (9-10mm)
   
   2. A/C compressor and power steering pump belt (new): 0.31-0.35 in. (8-9mm)
      
   3. A/C compressor and power steering pump belt (used): 0.35-0.39 in. (9-10mm)
3. If the specifications fall outside the ranges given, adjust the belt as follows:
   1. Loosen the alternator mounting bolt and adjusting bolt.
      
   2. Adjust the alternator to get the specified belt deflection.
      
   3. Tighten the bolts, then recheck the tension.
