Hey guys, how do i tighten my altenator belt. After searching, someone said 2 17mm wrenchs under the ac compressor. Havnt had a chance to go out and look but can some one give me more details, or will it be quite obvious once im under there? Cus i would really hate to mess something up.

 

its a turnbuckle. One side is right hand thread and the other is left hand thread. Unlock the lock nuts at each end of the bar and spin the center to lengthen/shorten the bar. Then relock the nuts.

 

thanks xboost, by the way, whats goin on with those bumper shocks, you never PMed me back?

 

Don't forget to loosen the two bolts holding the turnbuckle. They face the front of the car. Without doing so, you run a risk of breaking your turnbuckle. Then you'd have to buy the one from my parts car.

 

dunno about the bumper shocks- still have a --it load of them sitting here. I cant remember what we talked about- last i heard i thought you were going to paypal?

 

Just delete the belt... saves weight
