Hi Guys,

Last night on my way home i some how managed to snap my alternator belt and now need to replace it. I wanted to try and attempt this my self. Any deatiled guides or anyting i should be aware of or wary of?

Cheers,

ALL good did it my self.. what a task... was so fun doing it

good work!

if i remember correctly the alternator has one bolt front to back and one bolt back to front the latter is the fiddly one, need to get a ratcheting ring spanner?......

be wary of not tightening enough or overtightening. I reckon a repair manual is a must coupled with owners manual - cheap investment.
