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.   |

Changed mine today. Upper hex bolt is easy to loosen, but only one turn maximum. Lower (pivot) bolt can be accessed easily from the bottom with a 13mm swivel socket and a couple extensions. Also, one turn maximum. Alternator was "stuck", but I wrapped a piece of rope around the pulley and gave it a good tug from the passenger side. The most tricky part was threading the new belt over the pulleys. I was unable to use a mirror, so I was able to get it on the fan end by feel. A bit of PB helped a little, but about an hours job.
