Alternator Installation Exploded View.:

1. Apply a force of 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) and measure the deflection between the alternator and the water pump pulley

Deflection Carbureted: 6-9 mm (0.24-0.35 in.)

NOTE: On a brand new belt, the deflection should be 4-6 mm (0.16-0.24 in.) when first measured.

2. Loosen the alternator adjusting bolt and nut.


3. Move the alternator by turning the adjusting nut to obtain the proper belt tension, then retighten the bolt and nut.


4. Recheck the deflection of the belt.
