Hi everyone,

quick question. Do I need to remove the alternator/water pump belt

before I can remove and replace the A/C compressor belt?

It is difficult to tell by looking under the hood. Both the 5 and 7 series Bentley manuals don't indicate that I need to remove the longer alternator/water pump belt prior to being able to remove the a/c belt, but when I look with a flashlight it seems like I will have to.

Thanks in advance for any helpful information!
