There should be a belt routing diagram on the fan shroud under the hood. Follow the diagram and route the belt around all of the pulleys except the alternator. Use the appropriate size ratchet to turn the belt tensioner counter clockwise and place the belt around the alternator pulley. Release the tensioner and check the belt all the way around.
For a Vauxhall Astra 57 plate, it's generally recommended to change the cam belt every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, or every 5 to 7 years, depending on the engine type. However, always refer to the owner’s manual or consult with a qualified mechanic for specific recommendations based on driving conditions and vehicle use. Regular checks are essential to avoid potential engine damage.

Let me know the engine size (in litre displacement i.e. 4.3, 5.0, 5.7, 7.4, or Diesel) and the A/C situation (exists/not) and I'll answer this one. It will save us from going over multiple combinations. Also, and very important; do you have California emissions. If you have the A.I.R. air injector reactor (Cali emissions). It will be at the 9:30 to 10:00 position as you face the engine from the bumper and have a very large "wheel/pulley." On hold, Atis

.57 move decimal two to the right, put it over 100 57/100 simplify
Yes and it is 57/100 as a fraction
57 - (24 plus 15) = 18
Buy a Haynes or Chilton manual and check it out. Unless things have changed at Chevrolet, a 5.7 (350ci) has no timing belt so therefore there is also no belt tensioner. It's chain driven from crank sprocket to cam sprocket. It's internal, behind the timing chain cover, which is behind the water pump, and is oiled via the engine which oiled is something a rubber belt is not. Ever try pouring oil on a tire and taking off??? Or walking through a small amount of spilled oil? Oil tends to cause a lack of traction in either case and so it would on a belt.
