belt came off

[95mustang_gt]

Well i was trying to take the alt. out and some how the belt comes off all the pulleys.Is the belt easy to put back on?How many bolts are they to hold the alt?

theres 3 bolts you have to take out to get the alt out, pretty easy.

2 in the front and 1 that holds a bracket in the back.

you also have to unplug the wiring that goes to it and undo the nut that holds the main power wire on.


the belt should go back on pretty easy, just follow the belt routing on the radiator cover but dont go under the idler pully (will give you enough slack to get the belt on everything without falling off) then after its in place just push it down under it and your done

The alt has 2 mounting bolts, the small one torques to 15-21 lb-ft, while the larger bottom one is 30-41 lb-ft.

Mine doesn't have a third bolt holding a bracket Had it out just last week....

i think it was just some small little bracket that holds up some of the smog or vaccume lines, dont remember now

It is worth mentioning - DISCONNECT the battery before doing this task.

Good luck.

Yep, that wire on the back is hot all the time.

Power cable nut = 10mm
Small bolt = 13mm
Large bolt = 15mm
