I noticed my belt is really worn and looks like it is going to rip itself apart.
I have a new belt and tried to fit it myself but I am completely lost on how to get it replaced.
Does anyone have a write up or a thread or manual or anything that can help?
Cheers!
This is for the alternator right? You basically slacken the tension off on the alternator, by removing the bolt going through the funny shaped bracket, twist the alt down, change the belt and re-tension.
if the alternator doesnt rock back and forth after youve slackened the bracket arm, youll need to slacken the bottom bolt on the alternator too. they both work as lockers, 1 top, 1 bottom.Quote:

nothing fancy on these engines - no wind-up tensioner, no sprung loaded roller, just a nut and bolt :)
