replacing broken JRSC blower belt
i got the new belt and everything, but im trying to figure out whats going to be the easiest way to put the new one on. I know i have to take the alternator belt off, to slide the blower belt behind it.
anyways, im haveing a hell of a time trying to take off the bottom alterntor bolt, so that i can piviot it and release the alterntor belt and slip the blower belt on. Im thinking about just taking off the alternator tensioner pulley. Even though i loosened up the bolt for it, there is still alot of tension on the belt itself.
any ideas?

You don't move the Alternator.
Do this:
Loosten the tensioner pulley from the top that is for hte alternator to blower belt.
Loosen from under the car the tensioner for the crank to alternator belt. (you will also need to alightly loosen the nut that holds the spindle for this pulley)
Remove the belt from the Alternator
Slide the New b\alternator to blower belt on
Replace the Crank to Alternator belt now (might as well replace both belts with new ones while you are at it)
now tension both belts so that you can twist the belt 90 degres.
drive away happy
retension belts after a few days of driving.
