What's the easiest way to replace the alternator belt on a 89 SI?

 

loosen the alternator so you can pull the belt off...put the new belt on and push altenator all the way to make the belt tight then tighten down altenator and ur set good luck

 

Undo the support bolts and slide the alternator forward. Then replace the belt.

 

Don't I have to loosen the main accessory belt before I can remove the alt belt??

 

no

 

The alternator belt is behind the main belt on the pulley...You can't just take off the alternator belt without removing the main belt...

 

if i had my car here i would look for you...when i changed my belt i changed my whole alternator too...just look how it looks now and do the same thing just put the new belt on....honestly...it not like swapping a motor...it will take u 10 min...its really easy...if you have to take off that other belt then just slide it off put the alt. belt on then put the other belt back on and make sure both are tight then tighten the bolt
