a/c belt change

[wmh9680]

I'm trying to change the a/c and alternater belts on my 97 4wd Tracker. I can't find the stationairy (not the adjusting) bolt on the a/c side. I found both belts on the altenator side okay although one is hard to get to. I don't think it has an idler pulley. Any ideas? Thanks, Mike

It's pretty hard to deal with. I just loosen the adjuster bolt and pry it over. I've done it many times on my three trackers and no problem.

Well, as it turned out the ecm computer died on Sunday. It is $2500 installed from the dealer so that was the end of the Tracker. I tried to find a rebuilt and it appears there was a problem with the 97 and it's next to impossible to find a rebuilt ecm for a 1997 Tracker. I sold for $500 as is. Thanks for the info, I thought about doing that. Mike
