I fear we're going off course here: I was talking about tightening the hydraulic pump belt, not the alt belt.
Cheers,

Yes it's a great site, I hope it doesn't disappear. It's probably worth taking a backup of it in case it does vanish.DLM wrote:This site was/is one of the best-illustrated you'll find anywhere -to get to the root english-language section go to http://www.mars.dti.ne.jp/~ynar/bxorg_a ... dex-e.html
The rectangular lug circled in blue is part of the hydraulic pump belt tensioner, so pulling on this rotates the tensioner and tightens the belt.mnde wrote:I fear we're going off course here: I was talking about tightening the hydraulic pump belt, not the alt belt.

As I come to think of it, the roof batten is a bit of an overkill; it was something I used before I read about the lug & spanner method. I can get sufficient leverage with the spanner and I just tie the rope to the front of the car to hold the tension until I have tightened the tensioner bolts.ellevie wrote:I thread a rope through the ring of the spanner and pass it out through the front of the car and tie it to a roof batten to apply some serious leverage.
