If the bolt is simply too tight, a longer wrench or extending the wrench with a pipe may help. Penetrating oils like WD40, 3 in 1 oil, Liquid Wrench, or the like are often helpful. If the bolt is seized/rusted, penetrating oils (as above) are helpful (let sit for a while if possible). Tapping carefully with a hammer can aid the penetrating oil and help loosen the bolt. Also, heating the area surrounding the bolt with a torch (when safe) helps. Conversely, cooling the bolt itself, as with compressed gas products, can also help. If the bolt is broken, then either an 'easy-out' product (available at most parts stores) is necessary or drilling out the bolt and retapping the hole is necessary. If the nut won't come off the bolt, then a nut splitter is very effective.
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.
Usually you can loosen the tension on the belt by moving the alternator. To do this, you need to loosen the bolts securing the alternator. It usually only has two, a pivot bolt and another bolt that slides along a track. You don't need to completely remove either bolt. Simply loosen the both of them, and the alternator will pivot towards the inside of the belt, allowing you to take it off. Put the new belt on pull the alternator towards the outside of the belt until it is tight, tighten the slider bolt, and then tighten the pivot bolt, and you're all set! If the vehicle has one belt for everything (serpentine belt). This vehicle more than likely has a center tension pulley with a bolt or nut on the front. Place a boxed wrench on this and try tightening it. It will more than likely move releasing the tension on the belt where it can be entirely removed. It will be spring loaded so you will have to hold with one hand and remove with the other. Most vehicles also usually have a belt route sticker which will help if you forget just how it was routed.
Loosen the 17mm bolt in the middle of the pulley. Loosen the belt tensioner, and the pulley should slide off with a little help. Make sure to nothing the little key-way that lines the pulley up.
Yes, they are very helpful and loosen up the muscles to they aren't so tight. When you add heat it helps the muscles to move apart and not be so close together. This should help with the sore muscle
With two pipe wrenches - and sometimes you need a pipe extension on the handles of the pipe wrench and A friend to help hold one while you wrestle the other.
This could be a result of the bolt on the wheel being too tight. try to loosen the bolt just a little bit. Too much friction will cause the wheel to spin slower, and too little friction will cause it to spin too freely. if this doesnt help, try to ride them for a while, and break them in.
yes. loosen the locking nut, adjust the screw / bolt down to increase psi, out to decrease psi.
can you rephrase your question? i dont know if your ques ishow tight a differential bolt should be or what determines how tight a certain bolt should be tightened ex. head bolt torque intake manifold these all have recommended torque specs but we need to know what you are assenbling year make model and engine size or are you asking how to tell the hardness and shear strength of different fasteners please elaborate so we can help you g
yes u got to drop the motormount and your bolt problem wedge a long screw driver in in and it locks in between the alternator bracket and the ac compressor and loosen the bolt
