Anyone know how to change the alternator belt.
I guess there are two spots on the pully. One for AC and one for alternator? Car has not run since 1985 so I assume the AC does not work.   |

Check the left side of the motor. There should be two oblong plastic plugs, about 3" long and 1" wide. Remove those, and you will see the pinch bolt on the alternator. On my car, it's a big allen-head bolt; I've seen regular hex-head bolts and triple-square bolts like the CV bolts.
Loosen that bolt, and push the alternator inward and upward. That will make the belt slack, so you can pop it off. Work the new belt around the fan pulley, then around the alternator pulley. Then push the alternator back down and to the left to tighten the belt, and tighten the pinch bolt. --DD |
