Hi! Went to get an oil change for 29.99 and the guy checking the car said I need to replace my AC belt. Is this something I can do? I replaced the belt on a 97 Yukon before. Is there a tutorial or guide that anyone can provide. The mechanic siad he'll charge me $185 for parts and labor.

$185 is ridiculous. They are not that hard to change. I don't remember if the a/c belt is the inner most belt or not. If it's the inner belt, then you'll have to take off the other 2 to get to it, which can be a pain, so you might as well change all of them. Should be a bolt on the tensioner. Loosen that up, and you can move the tensioner enough to make the belt loose enough to change it.
