How do you change an alternator belt on a 1986 Honda Accord?
Air conditioner drive belt needs to be removed to access the alternator belt. Loosen the alternator pivot bolt and the alternator adjustment bolt-the one which rides in a slot. There is a third bolt, like an eyebolt, which points to the rear and has a nut which can be tightened to pull the eyebolt and adjustment bolt. The eyebolt will likely have rusted threads and should be lubricated before starting the job. With the alternator belt off, run the nut over the full length of the eyebolt, then apply grease to the threads. Adjust eyebolt to swing alternator to front of car; the drivebelt can be then easily installed. Tighten nut on eyebolt for correct belt tension, then tighten other two bolts. There is almost no room available to do any of this; sometimes you can't even get one click of a ratchet; that is why it is important to have free-turning hardware.
How do you put an alternator belt on a 1992 4 runner?
You need to remove the old belt from the power steering pump. Then loosen, not remove the bolts on the alternator. Slide the belt over around and through the fan and onto the belt grove for the alternator. Then with a large bar push the alternator away so it tightens the belt. Later if not tight the belt will squeal. While putting pressure on the alternator tighten the bolts. Reinstall the power steering belt in the same way but you can tighten the belt on this one using hand pressure rather than the bar.
How do you replace an alternator on a 1998 Saturn sl how do you tighten the belt?
You'll probably want a manual for this, but you may be able to locate a bracket on or near the alternator that moves the alternator itself or a pulley that the belt runs on. This is a tensioner and turning the bolt one way or the other will tighten or loosen the belt. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE BELT! This will damage the components the belt runs on.
