[W126 Coupe] How do you change your alternator belt?

[Michael Ramay]

It's a DIY. IIRC, 13mm and 17mm wrenches and a 10mm socket will do it. The
PS Pump belt comes off and the alternator belt is next. Buy a brand name
belt!! I like Gates but there are others. Might as well replace them all
while you're in there.

FYI, I take the old but serviceable belts and toss them under the spare tire
in the trunk for emergency use.
