It depends on which side of the vehicle you are standing. If you stand directly in front of the bolt; you turn it to the left.

How do you remove an alternator from a VW Caravelle?

loosen bottom bolt on the alternator unit and push the alternator towards the engine block until you can remove the belt from the pulley on the alternator. Leave in the bottom bolt until you have removed the top bolt as it may need some levering with a small pry bar to pull the top of the alternator away, when the top is free remove the bottom bolt while holding the alternator so it wont fall, and remove the tension spring. This should only take about 20 to 30 mins!

If it's the alternator belt, loosen the bolts holding the alternator in place, then use something like a hammer handle to pry the alternator away from the engine which will tighten the belt. Hold the pressure on the alternator while tightening the bolts. This is a general procedure, not specific to 1996 dodge.

How do you put an alternator belt on a 1992 Geo Storm?

your belt tensioner is built in on the mounting bracket off the engine. you will only find two bolts that hold on the alternator to the engine, one is a pivot hinge, a long bolt that if loosened will allow the alternator to move away or closer to the engine, (tension). the other is on a sliding bracket on the front of the alternator that works with the pivot bolt. i can't remember whether its a 14 or 12 mm bolt. either way, just loosen both of the bolts, hammer or pry the alternator towards the engine, slip on the belt. make sure the belt fits into the grooves properly, then pry the alternator away from the engine. make sure the belt is extremely tight. i just replaced mine and i didn't pry hard enough and it slipped off halfway to a friends house, (not fun). anywas it's best to have someone pry the alternator and you tighten the bolts. in order to replace the alternator belt you have to remove the ac and power steering pump belt. both the ac compressor and the power steering pump work the same way as the alternator. loosen them bolts and hammer or pry them towards the engine to slip it off. good luck. i know i needed it. your belt tensioner is built in on the mounting bracket off the engine. you will only find two bolts that hold on the alternator to the engine, one is a pivot hinge, a long bolt that if loosened will allow the alternator to move away or closer to the engine, (tension). the other is on a sliding bracket on the front of the alternator that works with the pivot bolt. i can't remember whether its a 14 or 12 mm bolt. either way, just loosen both of the bolts, hammer or pry the alternator towards the engine, slip on the belt. make sure the belt fits into the grooves properly, then pry the alternator away from the engine. make sure the belt is extremely tight. i just replaced mine and i didn't pry hard enough and it slipped off halfway to a friends house, (not fun). anywas it's best to have someone pry the alternator and you tighten the bolts. in order to replace the alternator belt you have to remove the ac and power steering pump belt. both the ac compressor and the power steering pump work the same way as the alternator. loosen them bolts and hammer or pry them towards the engine to slip it off. good luck. i know i needed it.

Lift off of overhead track On a shower stall that pivots, there is usually an adjustment screw on the top pivot bracket. Loosen it and with the door open lean the door away from the side jamb. This will let you lift it out of the bottom and then out all the way.

Loosen the bolts on the alternator (do not take them all the way out), push the alternator toward the engine a little, take off the belt, (make sure you draw the path of the belt first) install the new belt according to the serpentine belt path diagram, and pull the alternator away from the engine (you may need a iron bar to help you be careful not to damage the alternator) and have someone else tighten the bolts of the alternator while you put tension on the alternator to tighten the belt.


How do you loosen the slack on an alternator belt for a 97 Pontiac Sunfire?

If you're changing the alternator, you can loosen it's bolts to gain some slack, but you'll need more.This is done using the belt tensioner. It's a pulley looking thing in the belt path. On my '96, it's down and back from the alternator. It's surface is often very shiny and it has what looks like a nut on the front. If you put a wrench or socket on the nut, you can rotate the entire assembly away from the belt. That will let you get the belt on or off.The Haynes manual has a pretty good illustration.FriPilot


How do you remove a door panel of a 92 eurovan?

92 and 93 should be the same I believe. If this is correct the first thing I do is remove the plug that it as the end of the panel towards the lock then remove the screw and the mirror cover near the hinges (inside). Then I take a rubber mallet if the door panel has never been remove and tap it from the bottom to loosen it up. Then sliding it straight up and not away it will come out.


What way do you turn caliper bolts?

Since the caliber bolts are facing away from you, to loosen them turn them right. To tighten them go left. The "righty tighty, Lefty Loosey" applies only when the bolt/screw is facing you. Good Luck!
