Re: 98 Malibu Alternator issue
I just realized that maybe I shouldn't make a new thread since everything is here already it might be seen as rude.

Re: 98 Malibu Alternator issue
I have a finale....finally. I couldn't get the pulley that's on the outside of the belt to move, so I figured there was no tensioner. I peeled the belt off like a bike tire, took the alternator out, and then realized I couldn't get the tensioner to move because I couldn't get a good enough torque on it.
The pulley on the outside of the belt is the tension. I put the new one back in after figuring out how to manipulate the tensioner, and then put the belt back on using the tensioner. Luckily the belt is still plenty tight and it should work, I hope. I'm putting a charge back in the battery now to make sure it's all charged up and I'll take it for a test drive here in a bit. Thanks for all the help. |

Re: 98 Malibu Alternator issue
It's the thought that counts
That's a much nicer picture for the thread in case anyone else runs in to the same problem with this engine. |
