Replacing Fan Belt

Hey guys so my fan belt just broke...
Never replaced one before and needed some assistance!
Is this an easy job? what do i need to know and how can i do this myself?
Is it more than one belt?
the larger one was the one that i had to cut off, but its another one that has came off the track and looks like it should be replaced.

I cant find the diagram that shows the rout for the belts.
Anyone have a link to a video or something?

Thanks!! Much needed help!

Re: Replacing Fan Belt

although the pictures of the brackets my be slightly different it should suffice get new belts and set the defection to 3/8-1/2.

Re: Replacing Fan Belt

What's setting the defection to 3/8-1/2 mean?

Re: Replacing Fan Belt

when you install the new belts and tension the belt you want the belt to move up and down a little. This is the deflection on the belt it should be between 3/8 to 1/2 movement. too loose the belt pops off or slips to tight bearing failure will occur on power steering pump or ac or air pump.
