there should be two major bolts to the alternator one to losse'n up the belts and the other to release the alternator to the mount. loosen the belts first and then remove the belts.. after this it should be easy to replace the alternator
It is very hard to do but you will need a 12mm socket for the alternator and a long 12mm wrench to loosen the bolts on the other pully and a 10mm Allen wrench to adjust the A/C belt
Loosen the belts, unbolt the old alternator, bolt the new one on, tighten the belts back up.
how to replace an alternator belt on 2001 hyundai accent
BeltsYes, you must remove all of the belts to replace the alternator belt. The compressor belt first, then the power steering belt then the alternator belt.
the car has the original alternator in it, the brackets for the new alternator (the ford one) are uneven and wont fit the belts on them, i was wondering if i can take the brackets from the old alternator and replace them on the for so the belts will fit answer quickly thanks!
I belive it has two belts one that drives the fan and one for the alternator the adjuster for the fan is on the right side and you need a 12 or 14mm socket and use a 14mm long wrench or socket and ratchet to move the tensioner
Yes. You may need a friend if the bolts are tight and to tighten the belts.
Loosen the tension on the belts, unbolt the old one, bolt in the new one, and retighten the belts.
# Notice which pulleys the alternator belt rides on. # Remove the alternator's adjustment bolt. # Remove the alternator's pivot bolt. # Remove the alternator. # Before you can put on the new belt, you probably will have to remove someother belts which means loosening other adjustment and pivot bolts. # Place the new alternator belt on the pulleys you took note of earlier. # Put the alternator back on. # Making sure to tighten all the bolts you loosened earlier. All belts should only deflect 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Longer belts deflect more than shorter belts.
This is a very straightforward operation, same as any other car. Disconnect battery, remove shrouding, unbolt the alternator, bot new alternator on, tighten belts, and reconnect the battery. The alternator is easily accessible.
If you have more than one belt you only have to take off the one you need to replace, or to get to it .
