bibblebob Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Is there any particular way to put the alternator back on. getting it off was a bit of a pig,i had to cut auxilery belt off to remove it. Stupid little star bolt and top bolt are held in with lock tight. Do i put alternator on bolt it up and then stretch new belt on or is there an easier way:(advice appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 you didn't need to cut the belt. you just needed to slacken it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 It's save to say, cutting the belt off was a no no!! At least you can glue it back together...... H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flukey-lukey Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Get a 14mm socket on the aux belt tensioner and ratchet it as if you were trying to tighten the bolt (clockwise) and hey presto the belt will become slack and can easily be removed. Same again for putting the new one back on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
