(Home) Fitting a new aircon belt

New air con belt required. Asked my normally useful mechanic type friend to do it. 'Oo Er Mr Grimsdale !'
was just about all the sense he made. You'd have thought I'd asked him to eat a black pudding sat on Dracula's coffin ! To the point, is there a knack, a simple way of fitting this belt ? How's it done ? - (#237) Kevin Savage, 29 May 01

Sorry, I've had a hard day, it's a Toyota MasterAce Surf.... - (#238) Kevin Savage, 29 May 01

Ermm, no easy way, I'm afraid. It's driver's seat and floor out, p/s & fan belts off, then the aircon belt. All fairly self- explanatory, other than the idler for the aircon belt- loosen the nut in the center, then use the bolt at the front of the sump to tension, before tightening the nut.
email me direct for more info if required.
