SOURCE: Center main mototr mount bolt is missing,need size of bolt so I can replace it myself.

More than likely the mount is bad and you will have to buy the bolt from the dealer or a fabricating shop that sells metric bolts, or go to a junk yard to get a replacement for same car. pull the nut off the other side and measure from the top of the bolt to the end of the threads then go buy one at the store using the nut as your size guide and thread pitch and get a grade 8 bolt to replace it with.

Yes you adjust the belt tensin by adjusting the alternator. the one with the 14mm head is the pivot and the one with the 12mm head is the lock down bolt.

SOURCE: My alternator is missing the

Hi, i can tell you its a metric size of about 8-10mm, if you go to the local mechanic they will probably have one in their spare nuts and bolts box and probably give it to you for free otherwise go to your local hardware and park your car close by, take your tools, they usually will let you exchange until you get the right one, stick to high tensile bolts. For the length, stick a thin screwdriver or similar into the hole and see how long it is, take into account the thickness of the bracket , make sure you get the right thread and start it off with your finger first, if it wont screw in with your finger than it may be the wrong thread. The other option is find a wrecker that has your vehicle and get one off them!!!

How to take off alternator off Dodge stratus 2005

Google your question and find a wealth of answers. Daniel Arellano gave the answer to someone back in 2012 who asked the same question from Fixya. He said:

I just gave somebody the written answer to this same question. i do not know about the visual. But if you know what the alternator looks like , you can fix it.
  • Disconnect and label the wiring harness connections to the alternator (Painters Masking tape works very well for labeling Automotive wiring).Label the wires with a marker so you will place them back exactly as you took them off.
  • Loosen the alternator pivot bolt.
  • Remove the bolt that attaches the alternator to the adjustment arm.
  • Rotate the alternator to loosen the drive belt and disengage the belt from the pulley. Be careful that any spacers that are used in mounting are kept with their original bolts. This will make correct reinstallation much easier.
  • While supporting the alternator remove the pivot bolt.
  • Remove the alternator from the vehicle.
To reinstall the alternator, reverse the removal procedure.
To adjust the belt tension, leave the pivot and adjusting arms loose. tighten the belt to about a half inch pressing with your finger.

Bobcat 323 alternator bracket

Most likely yes, it is an 8. Best thing to do is take the bracket off the alternator to remount it. Then put the alt back on with slide/adjuster loose.

I'm not sure how to replace my alternator belt easy question I hope.

Its a simple question lol. By the alternator there should be an adjustment arm, it allows the alternator to be adjusted and move up and down. If you look at the alternator area you will see what all holds it together. The bottom bolt that holds the alternator in place doesn't need to be messed with. You may have to loosen the top bolt, but loosen the adjuster and push the alternator down to slide the old belt off and install the new belt and tighten everything back up. Adjust the adjustment arm to tighten the belt to spec.

How do we adjust a torsion bar to the a-arms

This not that simple Your tortion bars are must have some distortion at this point being a 2000 you will need to estamate some what but it can be done To tighen the tention you adjust the anchor arm bolts at the rear of the bar one on each side you also need a mesurment in the front take some string and strech it tight across the front end wheel to wheel at the bottom of the ball joints for your referance point the lower joint The vehicle should be on flat level ground Tighten the anchor arm bolts one at a time measure the distance from the top of the thearded end of the adjuster bolt to thepoint where it rides on the adjusted bracket then measure the distanct from the center of the bar front to the string when this distance is vary close the suspension should work fine Rember you may have to tighten one bar more then the other to get this but have to take into account bar distorition from years of use good luck

NEED INSTRUCTIONS ON REPLACING ALTERNATOR ON F150 FORD LARIET 1986.

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

See Figures 1 and 2


0900c1528004b8db.jpg enlarge_icon.gifenlarge_tooltip.gif Fig. Fig. 1: Rear terminal alternator


0900c1528004b8dc.jpg enlarge_icon.gifenlarge_tooltip.gif Fig. Fig. 2: Side terminal alternator
  1. Open the hood and disconnect the battery ground cable.
  2. Remove the adjusting arm bolt.
  3. Remove the alternator through-bolt. Remove the drive belt from the alternator pulley and lower the alternator.

Some engines are equipped with a ribbed, K-section belt and automatic tensioner. A special tool must be made to remove the tension from the tensioner arm. Loosen the idler pulley pivot and adjuster bolts before using the tool. See the accompanying illustration for tool details.
  1. Label all of the leads to the alternator so that you can install them correctly and disconnect the leads from the alternator.
  2. Remove the alternator from the vehicle.
  3. To install, reverse the above procedure. Torque the pivot bolt to 58 ft. lbs.; the adjusting bolt to 25 ft. lbs.; the wire terminal nuts to 60-90 inch lbs.

BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT

The fan belt drives the alternator and water pump. If the belt is too loose, it will slip and the alternator will not be able to produce it rated current. Also, the water pump will not operate efficiently and the engine could overheat.
Check the tension of the belt by pushing your thumb down on the longest span of the belt, midway between the pulleys. Belt deflection should be approximately 1 / 2 inch; (13mm).To adjust the belt tension, proceed as follows:
  1. Loosen the alternator mounting bolt and the adjusting arm bolts.
  2. Apply pressure on the alternator front housing only, moving the alternator away from the engine to tighten the belt. Do not apply pressure to the rear of the cast aluminum housing of an alternator; damage to the housing could result.
  3. Tighten the alternator mounting bolt and the adjusting arm bolts when the correct tension is reached.

I have a 2001 nissan sentra and it needs a new alternator. i can't figure out how to get the last bolt out. do i have to remove the fan? also, i need pointers on getting the belt back on tightly. thanks....

  • Remove the alternator from the vehicle.
To reinstall the alternator, reverse the removal procedure.
To adjust the belt tension, leave the pivot and adjusting arms loose. Look up the belt tension specification for the vehicle you are working on. Using a belt tension gauge on the belt apply pressure to the alternator until the correct belt tension registers on the gauge and tighten the mounting and adjustment bolts to the specified torque specification.
CAUTION Over tightening of the alternator drive belt will cause the unit to whine and premature failure of the alternator drive end bearing, the water pump or the engine crankshaft.

BMW 318i M46 belt tensioning



adjust ur belt by following steps
now that you know where the components are these components are driven by a belt. So when you turn your AC on there’s a belt that’s driving the AC compressor, when you turn the stirring wheel and you have that nice that easy feel of turning the stirring wheel when you’re parallel parking your car that’s the power stirring pump doing its job. Your alternator is keeping the battery charged, the lights on and the engine running. So I want to show you where the belts are, what they look like, how to adjust them and how to tell a bad belt from a good belt. As you can see these are your drive belts, this is the AC drive belt it drives the AC compressor, this is the alternator drive belt it drives the alternator, if you look down here you can see this is where the adjustment is on that AC compressor belt, if you look right here this is the top adjusting bolt for adjusting the alternator either up or down to tighten or loosen the belt. There’s a bolt down here that locks the alternator in place and this bolt is the pivot bolt for the alternator. So if you’re going to let’s say remove your alternator belt you’d have to remove these covers, loosen this bolt, loosen this bolt that’s underneath this cover and adjust this bolt to either lower the alternator or raise the alternator, if you’re belt was too loose you’ll pull up on the alternator, if the belt was too tight you’ll
