Moms needs help changing alternator belt
Ok...so I've never done this before and I need help.
If you want to send me your email address, I can email you pictures. I need to put on an alternator belt. The old one broke off. I have a 1995 Trooper. I don't have one of those long belts that goes around all the pulleys. I have like 3 or 4 belts. So where is the tensioner? Do I need to go under the truck? I need to find the tensioner and I think this belt goes around the fan pulley, harmonic balancer pulley, and the alternator pulley. Please help. |

From memory - you'll need to remove the P/S belt first. The pump has a 14mm [edit - pivot] bolt under the pump (and above the alt) - it's accessed thru' the holes in the pump pulley. [edit - The lock bolt is clearly visible in the adjustment slot]. Quote:

Re-fit P/S belt - the tensioner is a 1/2inch square hole on the upper end of the bracket (lever it with an appropriate 1/2" drive). Tighten the lock bolt and then the 14mm [pivot]-bolt. Quote:

Re: Moms needs help changing alternator belt
I LOVE YOU
Any idea on how I can avoid getting as dirty as I'm gonna get when I fix this thing? No worries, I'll deal...I need to get to work on Monday. Have an awesome weekend! -Brandyboo |

Slight amendment about the P/S pump - the lock bolt is clearly visible in the adjustment slot - it's the 14mm PIVOT bolt that is accessed thru' the pulley: |

Re: Moms needs help changing alternator belt
Ahhh, thanks so much for the visual.
Those bolts look mighty hard to get to. I can tell that's it's gonna be an all-day repair for me. Thanks again, Brandyboo |

Re: Moms needs help changing alternator belt
Do I need to remove the fan first? Seems like it would allow easier access if I did.
Thanks, Brandyboo |

Re: Moms needs help changing alternator belt
Ok, guys...and gals
All I need to know now is how to adjust the a/c pulley so that I can remove the a/c belt. I loosened the bolt on the middle pulley...but I can't get the damn thing to move! Thanks, Brandyboo |
