well ne suggestions or a way to do it will be helpful
thanks a bunch!
I think the only way is by removing them all. Now is a good time to just change them all so you dont have to deal with them for a while.
When I bought my car I decided to try changing all the belts in one go. I had to work at the belts from both above and below, little hands would be nice for this. I put the car up on ramps before I began, and removed one or two of the bottom shields (had to take the bumper off anyway to get it up on the ramps).
If you’re not sure of the location of all the adjusting bolts and tensioner, use the helms manual; it also gives you specs for belt tightness. Shouldnt take you more than an hour to take them all off and replace.
have fun!
the reason that alternator belts squeak is because they are loose just loosen the nut that tightens it and use a prybar and retighten that is WAy easier than tryin to replace it
i know but the top of the belt is really really thin…
so im affraid its gonna snap
