If the bearings in the alternator get bad enough it can lock up.
Crankshaft pulley diameter X RPM / alternator pulley diameter = alternator Rpm
you need to replace the alternator
You will need to loosen the alternator belt with the tensioner pulley. When the tensioner pulley is loose the alternator belt will become loose. Put the new alternator belt on and tighten the tensioner pulley.
Loosen the tensioner pulley. Put the belt around the alternator pulley and the tensioner pulley. Move the tensioner pulley to the right until the belt is tight. Tighten the tensioner pulley.
the belt only goes around the crank pulley and alternator pulley
You will need to loosen the tensioner pulley. Put the alternator belt on. Push the tensioner pulley to the left until the alternator belt is tight. Tighten down the tensioner pulley.
Yes, if it will bolt up and the pulley is the same it will work.
the pulley on the harmonic balance drives the alternator belt. this is the pulley at the bottom of the engine ,on the front of the crank shaft if this pulley is not turning you have a problem. this means either the key is missing or the crankshaft is broken
To the best of my knowledge an alternator belt tensioner is just a fancy way to refer to the pulley that the alternator belt goes around yes they do lock up if your having that problem you've probably already shredded your alternator belt and youll need to purchase a new belt and a new pulley now depending on what kind of vehicle you have you may have to rent a special tool from the auto parts store to remove and or install your pulley which if im not mistaken you will want to ask for a pulley tensioner remover i hope i helped some!
The water pump pulley is the pulley right above the crank pulley (the big pulley in the bottom of the engine.) Right above the water pump pulley should be the alternator pulley, which drives the alternator. I'm guessing the water pump is behind the WP pulley. == == == ==
An alternator turns to the right, if facing pulley from side.
