BoostOrDie Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 I also just noticed you get a pretty good look at my 'custom' alternator belt tensioner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mill Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Step 1: Get long screw driver Step 2: remove flywheel inspection plug Step 3: Stick long screw driver in between flywheel plate Step 4: get breaker bar and socket for crank pulley Step 5: push screw driver while pulling breaker bar from the passenger side of the car Step 6: done. Step 1: Put breaker bar on crank pulley Step 2: ???? Step 3: Profit I used the starter method and it worked great. I was even lazy enough to bump it again to let it spin the bolt out. Just make sure you have your wrench orientation correct or youll take you some radiator bits. Putting the bolt back on is a different story. I put the pulley and belts on, tensioned the belts, then clamped the belts and used their friction on the pulley to hold the pulley still. Worked well enough to torq to 92 foot pounds.

xero287 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 ^Or you could have just left the screwdriver where it was to torque it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mill Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yeah you could do that. I didnt know where the the access hole was so I decided to do it my own complicated way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I use the starter method to get the bolt off. I wouldn't use a torque wrench for any other reason that to make sure you sufficiently exceed the spec for that bolt. Practically every year, the spec on that bolt has increased. The very last thing you want, is to walk that bolt.
