Re: 1991 Ford Tempo Main Belt
Okay, i finished putting the water pump, serpantene and alternator belt on. Starting with the water pump i put it around the crank then tensioner then got it half way on the water pump. Since i dunno how far the belt tightener goes out i put it half on the rear of the pulley than unplugeed the coil for the distributor and turned the engine over. Popped right on. The the serpantene I first put on the power steering pump, then the a/c compressor and last on the crank. Then pull up on the tensioner and tuck it under. Finally the alternator was a breeze and in about 2hrs from start to finish i had replaced all 3 belts. I bought a tensoiner tool from advance auto and would work great on any car with clearance between the fender but i used it without the sockets and used the bar to pull on the tensoiner. Definately would not want to do this again for awhile.
