(this assumes it is a car similar to the 1988-1993 generation Mazda 323)
First, you need to take off the belt to the Power Steering pump. To get it off, you need to open two screws that hold the pump in place, and then slacken the belt with the tensioner screw.
When that belt is off, you do a similar thing with the alternator belt. Loosen the bolts that hold the alternator in place, and you can move it a bit so the belt slackens.
Same thing in reverse to get it back on again. The belt should move a centimeter or so when properly tensioned. You can't go by the slack of the old belt, since worn belts are usually way too loose. If the belt slips (and starts "screeching"), it's too loose. You may need to tighten it a bit after it's been "worn in".
see if your local library has a shop manual to use for free.. I'd get a manual if your going to keep the car d
To change the alternator belt on a Mazda 323, first remove the right hand air shield under the can. Then locate the pulley tensioner of the AC and loosen the bolts on the pulley. Finally, remove the alternator pivot bolt under the alternator to remove the old alternator belt and replace with a new one.
This is from the Owners Handbook of my Mazda 323, 1996 : Alternator Drive Belt. 1. Loosen the alternator mounting bolt and adjusting bar bolt. Replace Fanbelt. 2. Turn the adjusting bolt until the correct tension is obtained. The deflexion should be 10mm. 3. Tighten bolts and recheck the tension.
First, disconnect the battery and then, remove the alternator and power steering belt, then the timing belt cover, the timing belt and the two pulleys, unscrew the pump bolts and that's it
Slacken the nut at the top of the alternator (14mm I think) and the bolt at the bottom. Pull alternator out until you can only get 10mm of movement in the belt on the longest run. Tighten bolts. You will need the car up and take the shield underneath off to get access.
The belt you have to first remove is the power steering pump belt. Loosen the clamp bolt, then the adjusting screw on the power steering pump until the belt is slack enough to remove from the pulleys. If you have air conditioning, you will also need to remove that belt too, by the same method on the A/C compressor. You can now loosen the clamp bolt (12 mm) from the alternator as well as the retaining bolt (14 mm) on the alternator. Once loosen, swing the alternator towards the engine block and remove the belt from the pulleys. Cheers Malcolm
To replace the water pump on a Mazda 323 1.6 DOHC, first, drain the coolant and remove the drive belt. Next, detach the timing belt cover and remove the timing belt to access the water pump. Unbolt the old water pump from the engine and clean the mounting surface before installing the new pump with a new gasket. Finally, reassemble the timing belt, cover, and drive belt, refill the cooling system with coolant, and check for leaks.
It means something is worng with your charging system. Check first your alternator if its charging. Check if belt is loose or broken. Check voltage of battery. Might be undercharged.
it is to the left of the engine beside your belt.
