HI, I'll take this right from my book which covers from '86-'98. Disconnect the Neg battery cable Label and detach all wiring from the alternator Remove the evap charcoal canister and mounting bracket from the engine compartment Loosen the mounting bolts, then remove the alternator drive belt from the pulley While supporting the alternator, remove the mounting bolts and lift the alternator up and out of the engine compartment To Install: Hold the alternator in position, then install the mounting bolts finger-tight position the alternator belt on the pulley then adjust the drive belt. Using a padded pry bar, push the alternator away from the engine until the belt has the proper tension ( about 1/4 - 1/3 in deflection under thumb pressure) Tighten the alternator mounting bolts to 17ft lbs (23 Nm) if you have a torque wrench, otherwise real tight but not so tight that you'll strip the threads in the alternator Reattach all wiring to the alternator Reinstall the evap charcoal mounting bracket and canister Connect the neg battery cable You'll need to readjust the clock and redo your radio settings

How do you change alternator belt on 2001 galant?
On a 4 cyl. you loosen the bolt that holds the adjuster to the alternator and then loosen the adjusting screw. You may need to hold pressure on the alternator to help it move or also loosen the bottom mount bolt of the alternator to the engine to allow the alternator to move easily. On a v6 you loosen the center nut on the adjuster pulley and then loosen the adjuster screw. Remove the old belt and install the new one. adjust the pulley to tighten the belt and tighten the pulley or tensioner. Belt is now installed.

The power steering pump has two adjuster bolts. Loosen the top bolt, and then the bolt underneath the pump (facing from passenger side) to give the belt some slack. The alternator has two adjuster bolts and one bolt to hold the bracket to the alternator. Loosen the bottom bolt (next to the belt), then loosen the top adjuster bolt. You should then be able to move the alternator towards the motor to slack the belt.

How do you you tighten the alternator belt on a 1991 Plymouth Acclaim?
The adjuster is located underneath the alternator. Three bolts are involved, the first to loosen is the main bolt that hangs the alternator to its bracket, the second is underneath the unit on the left hand side - this would be the actual locking nut. The third is down underneath yet towards the front of the alternator; it actually moves the entire alternator forward or backward thus tightening or loosening the belt. Once the belt is tight, tighten the lock nut and then the main attaching bolt. About the lock nut, it is part of the adjuster mechanism underneath the alternator; both the lock nut and adjuster bolt are difficult to see especially if you have air conditioning like I use to.

Hi, the vehicle (like all vehicles today) has an automatic tensioner - it is possible that it is seized and needs replacing. Otherwise try this: First, raise the vehicle and remove the wheel from the right front side, next remove the plastic splash shield and from there you will see the tensioner pulley and adjuster bolt. Loosen the nut first and then you turn the adjuster bolt. Ray

How do you replace an alternator belt on a 1996 Toyota Corolla?
loosen the one or two bolts holding the alternator in place, i believe 14mm, then loosen the 12mm on the adjuster (side) and "screw" the 12mm bolt down to lower the alternator down enough and replace the belt. This is almost the same for every Toyota engine which doesnt use an automatic belt tensioner (serpentine) on the alternator.
