Alt belt.

[Kurtmagurt]

so I'm going through the stages of doing everything myself these days, and im having a bit of trouble with my altenator belt, after loosening the belt on the slide im not able to get the altenator to move so i can pull the old belt off. Is there another bolt on a pully or something else i have to loosen too? ive wedged a metal bar in too to try and move it, with no luck. its a 94 toyota 22re.

You have to loosen BOTH the slide bolt and the mounting bolt. BTW upon reinstall make sure you have right around 90* rotation on the belt. Overtightening is no - e -beuno.

i suppose the mounting bolt is at the bottom of the altenator? Ive been rankin on it pretty tough, its on there tight, thank you very much for the response, now i feel a little more confident on loosening that one

You need to back off both the long tensioner bolt and the nut in the center of the pulley. Back the large nut off about 1 turn and back the tension bolt off till you can get the belt off.

You got the Alt and the P/S mixed up there trashy!:fawkdancesmiley:

Usually I just loosen the top slide bolt, and pull on the belt to loosen it enough to get the belt off....install new belt, tension it; secure the slide bolt, and double check the pivot bolt (mounting bolt)...
