Simple alternator tightening

[piranhamatt]

I've tried searching , YouTube, Google images etc

but I am still unsure how to tighten up the tension of an alternator belt on a 172 cup, I know it should be piss easy but I'm not overly confident.

Please can someone send a guide with images as they really help, or a video etc etc. which would really come in handy for me!

10mm on the top. 16mm near the block, then a 13mm on the side of the 10mm threaded bar. Slacken off the 13 and the 16mm tighten the 10mm until the belt is tight, then retight the 13 and the 16.

Dans instructions will become crystal once you look at your car.

Get the belt reasonably tight, but don't overdo it. Get a feel for it and you'll soon see.

Got it! Brilliant thank you. Easier when you see it
