t0lir0 · 04-09-2011, 12:01 PM

I'm having difficulties trying to install the drive belt on my 84 supra.. any input on how to install it will be much appreciated. I looked at my hayes book already no luck on details on intallation.. there is no pulley to loosen... i've already took out both power steering and alternator belt.. thanks in advance for the assistance in this matter.

the alternator is what loosens the alt. belt
same with power steering, power steering is what moves.
timing belt, has its own tensioner

thx for the input. I've already loosen both power steering and alternator. The serpentine belt is connected to water pump and ac unit only. i saw a swivel mechanism underneath the water pump close to the powersteering unit and tried to move that but no luck.

your ac has its own belt and has its own tensioner.

both power steering and alternator are tensioners, these are the only belts.
