So my belt broke and on that year i hear there is 2 setups. One spring loaded no bolts to loosen just use a prybar and the bother lossens up from behind power steering pump. How do i know which one i have?

So i have a problem, when the belt broke it wound up and bent the fan blades. I bent them back and put a new belt on but it keeps jumping off around the altenator. What could this be?

Alternator seized up? Harmonic balancer falling apart?

"when the belt broke it wound up and bent the fan blades. I bent them back'
I would definitely stay clear of that fan just in case one or more blades decide to take off.
