alzmoore Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I ordered a new air con belt for my rebuild project from SJ Sportscars. (The car came without a belt fitted) When it arrived it was too short to fit. I contacted SJ and (after he had stopped being condescending and insisting that it was the right belt), advised me that the only way to fit it is to remove the crank pulley, fit the belt round the compressor pully and then refit the crank pulley with the belt in the grove. Before I lose any more skin, can anyone tell me if they have done it this way. It still looks too short to me..........................

Peteric Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 The only way I could get my air con belt off was to take it off with the crank pulley after loosening the air con belt tensioner wheel all the way! I put it back the same way in reverse (pulley on compressor wheel and then belt with crank pulley together) so I would say SJ's is right. It is tight on there.

Vulcan Grey Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 I think I usually remove the AC belt tensioner assembly and I think I probably remove the AUX pulley on the crank, slip the belt over the AC pulley and the AUX pulley, slide the AUX pulley on the crank, and then force the AC tensioner back on and under the belt. Then tighten everything down. Quote Travis Vulcan Grey 89SE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
