I replaced my alternator over the weekend.
Everything was fine for the first day. Today it started making a loud squeeking noise as if the belt was loose on it. I thought i put everything on tight after I replaced the alternator. But apparently not tight enough.
I tried spraying on some belt dressing, it temporarily stops when I am spraying the belt at the alternator pulley, but then starts again as soon as I stop. So I'm guessing the belt is loose.
My question is, can I tighten this without having to take apart my car (removing headlights, bumper, fan, fan clutch) Or am I screwed. I'm just trying to figure out how to save myself a few hours labor time. i was hoping the top bolt of the alternator was one that could be adjusted, but it doesn't look like it.
Thanks in advance!
