Take the belt back off, then try to bolt the tensioner on.
To tighten the alternator belt on a 1989 Nissan Pulsar, first, locate the alternator and identify the tension adjustment mechanism, which typically consists of a bolt and a pivot point. Loosen the mounting bolts on the alternator, then use a wrench to turn the tension adjustment bolt to increase tension on the belt. Ensure the belt has about half an inch of deflection when pressed in the middle, then tighten the mounting bolts securely. Finally, check the belt's alignment and ensure it's running smoothly on the pulleys.
If the alternator is driven by a drive belt, the answer is yes. You adjust the tension by loosing the bolts on the alternator mounting brackets and sliding the alternator until the proper tension, (around 1/4" deflection at mid point of the belt) is achieved. If however it has a Serpentine Belt driving the alternator, then there is no adjustment. Tension is held by the idler pulley. If it is loose then the belt is worn out, the idler tensioner is defective, or both.
To replace the alternator belts in a Volvo 240 DL, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. Then, loosen the alternator adjustment bolt and the tensioner to relieve tension on the belts. Remove the old belts and replace them with new ones, ensuring they are properly aligned on the pulleys. Finally, adjust the tension of the new belts and tighten the adjustment bolt before reconnecting the battery.
To replace the alternator adjustment bracket on a 2003 Hyundai Accent, first disconnect the battery and remove the serpentine belt by loosening the tensioner. Then, unbolt the old adjustment bracket from the alternator and the engine block. Install the new bracket by securing it to the alternator and the engine, then reattach the serpentine belt and reconnect the battery. Finally, check the belt tension and ensure everything is properly aligned.
If your 88 CRX SI alternator belt is making a strange intermittent noise shortly after changing the alternator what's wrong, the belt tension could be off. Adjust the belt slightly.
There is no tension adjustment. Tension is automatically adjusted by the idler pulley.
There are two bolts to loosen to adjust the alternator belt tension. 1st is the adjustment bolt. 2nd is the pivot bolt It is easiest to get at them from the bottom of the engine on the passenger side rear of the engine.
To tighten the alternator belt on a Peugeot 306 XSI petrol, first, locate the alternator and identify the tensioning mechanism, which typically consists of a tensioner pulley or an adjustment bracket. Loosen the bolts securing the alternator, then adjust the position of the alternator to increase belt tension. Once the desired tension is achieved, re-tighten the bolts securely. Finally, check the belt's tension by pressing down on it; it should not deflect more than half an inch under moderate pressure.
V6 4Runner has a 14mm bolt on the top of the alternator and a 12mm bolt on the bottom of the alternator. Loosen both of these bolts. Look through the drivers side wheel well and you will see another 12mm bolt below the alternator. This is your tension adjustment bolt. Tighten or loosen as needed. After proper tension is achieved tighten the upper and lower alternator mounting bolts you loosened earlier.
To replace the alternator belt on a 1987 VW Cabriolet, first, disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Loosen the alternator bracket bolts to allow for tension adjustment, then remove the old belt. Install the new belt by routing it around the alternator and other pulleys, ensuring proper alignment. Finally, tighten the alternator bracket bolts to adjust the belt tension and reconnect the battery.
Assuming you have a serpentine belt on that 3.3L engine, the tension on the alternator would be controlled by the idler (tension) pulley. The alternator is stationary.
To tighten the alternator belt on a 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series, first, locate the alternator and loosen the mounting bolts to allow for adjustment. Then, push the alternator away from the engine to increase tension on the belt while checking for proper tension (about 1/2 inch of deflection at the center of the longest span). Once tightened, hold the alternator in place and re-tighten the mounting bolts securely. Finally, double-check the belt tension and adjust if necessary.
