Belt splitting

I heard a noise coming from the pully side of the motor. It didnt do it at idel, but it did do it a higher rpm. I saw that the belt running the a/c comp was splitting (the skin is coming off). What other parts does that belt run? What is the belt called? ie.. timing belt, __?__ belt. Where to find one? Thanks

it's just the accessories belt, but it's going then i would suggest doing the accessories belt timing belt and water pump and do them SOON!

i just did all of that, but the accessory. will they have to pull all that stuff off again? damn!!! There is no part you can loosen to get enough slack to change the belt?damn

if you've done the timing then the accessroy belt is no proble. i'm not 100% but but the power steering or the alt. will come loose and that's all, i'm not sure you even need to pull the motor mount, it's been a while since seeing a 1.6 in a lanos.

Txdaewooxt,
No need to panic,
It's just the A/C belt. And thats all it turns. No big deal.
Go to Auto Zone and buy a new one for around $20.00. Than remove the right side (passenger-side)wheel.
Block it safely, than take off the plastic splash-guards. Than you can see what need to be done to install your new belt.
It is adjustable.
This is actualy an easy job.

I can breath now!!! You guys came through for me once again. Thanks a million!! I already found and purchased the belt at Auto zone and it was 14 bucks. I will get off early tomorrow and take a look. Hopefully i will have all the tools.

By the way that GSE Turbo was wording it. I thought it would be catastrophic if that belt would break. I dont want to break a timing belt again. Thanks again!!

It is a piece of cake!! I used one ratchet wrench and a drill (to put the splash guard back on). Thanks again........ and again.....and again!!!lol
