How do you replace the alternator belt on a 1997 Ford Aspire?

simply loosen the top alternator adjustment bolt, and you may need to loosen the lower mounting bolt if it's very tight. slide the alternator to the front of the car and remove the belt. replace the belt and slide the alternator back until the belt is tight. you might need to use a large screwdriver to get enought leverage to get propper belt tightness. tighten down the top adjustment bolt. start the car and listen for belt squeal. if it's present then loosen the top bolt again and try to get the belt tighter.


If your car will not start and you notice a belt on the ground near the right front tire is that the alternator belt?

Very possibly. If the alternator is locked up (shot) it will burn the belt off of it in seconds. If the alternator has no belt on it chances are this is why. I hope this helps you. Mark

Does it squeal? A loose serpentine/alternator belt can do that. Also a bad laternator,or poor/loose connections tothe alternator. You need electricity to fire your sparkplugs, and without that your car will stall out. Could also be a short circuit somewhere draining your battery faster than the alternator can keep up with.
