my alternator belt was squeeking horribly and i went down and got a napa belt part # 404-0300 "power fit" and it doesn't fit, unless i am trying to put it on wrong. and i looked on napas site and it said to use the 404-0305. should the 404-0300 work or do i have to drive all the way back down there to get the 404-0305? thanks

 

bump, how many bolts hold the alternator on? the bracket at the bottom and the one bolt at the top right? is the bracket suppose to have a bolt that goes through it? if so i dont have one

 

the belt you have is 5mm shorter than the one it calls for so that could be the problem. also, theres one bolt on the bottom side of the alterator that goes all the way through w/ a nut on the backside, and theres the top one that screws into the alternator, thats it.

 

well ****, i guess the bolt fell out or something cuz i dont even have one. does anyone have the part # for a new one or can i use something to ghetto rig it for now?

you can just find a nut bolt combo that will fit and be able to adjust the belt so the squeel doesnt happen

i think rule of thumb is the belt can only move +/- 1/2 inch

 

anyone know a bolt size/length?

 

check on majestichonda.com Look for ur car and enter it in the criteria boxes. Look for electrical, click on that and it should have all the alternator parts you can replace. Look on the diagram they provide to locate the bolt, and look in the list what the dimension is. Then just go to a store or the dealershit and buy it. Then git r' done!

 

i just found a long fat nail and stuck it in there and it fit semi snug and i bended the end so it cant come out and that seemed to work fine

 

tried two different belts, napa powerfit and "drive rite" 305k4 4pk0775 and neither of them fit. so i am just using the one i had on there that squeeks like a bitch, is there any ghetto way to make the squeeking stop for now? i dont have belt conditioner and i cant drive down to advance cuz i have to leave to work in a few. maybe hairspray or something would shut it up?
