Yesterday started out a great day for I replaced the alternator and got the car off the jack stands and took it for a spin into town. All was well until I revved up the engine during a down shift. The alternator belt popped off and was neatly ejected into the engine compartment.
I drove home on the battery, and now my question is how do you tighten the belt? I put as much tension on it as you can in the cramped quarters by hand, but I never found a good way to use some sort of leverage to get the belt on really tight. Any suggestions or tricks? I also noticed when I put on the old pulley on the new alternator that the pulley has a slight wobble, is this a problem? Tomorrow I will post some pic on another topic that I found while I was under the car. |
