How do I slacken all the belts enough to remove them?? as I am getting new replacements with my unorthodox pulley. I can only see one tension bolt on a bracket which I have loosend I will also be removing the old pulley so when I take that off will all the belts be loosend enough to remove?? or will I have to cut any off?? and force on new ones? Thanks in advance. :bow:

either cut them off,and use breaker bar and turn crank pulley with belt half on until it pulls it on,and tighten as required,although if you are fitting an aftermarket pulley then you will have to slacken all the tensioners to fit smaller belts especially the alternator as this is normally close to its last position

 

power steering slacken 14mm bolt from in between pulley wheel then underneath that there is a tensioner 12mm nut loosen 12mm bolt on the side of the tensioner easily got at from underneath or possible from the top undo until slack and place screwdriver inbetween ps pump and bracket and ajust backwards so it slackens

 

alternator loosen 17mm bolt just above alternator go underneath car and slacken 12mm nut on the back of alternator tensioner and slacken 12mm tensioner ajuster bolt push alternator until enough slack has been reached

 

air con slacken 14mm nut on front of pulley be careful they can round easy use a good quality 12point socket idealy! underneath loosen 12mm bolt until pulley wheel has moved up enough to remove belt

 

refitting is same as removal make sure all bolts and tensioners are set so belts are tight not to tight though just enough so you can move belt slightly to the side
