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

[Jay Hirsch]

"make sure engine is not running"

This was on the cardboard  cover of a Dayco belt I bought for my  73  
Mustang a few  years ago.
Obviously some  idiot attempted this at one time  with the net result  
of a legal disclaimer on  new Dayco belts.
Do not know if they  still have  this "warning' on their new belts
good idea to change the other belts and keep them in  trunk
keep cruisin
