Adjusting fanbelt tension
Adjusting fanbelt tension

Step 1. Where the generator tensions the belt, use two span- ners to loosen the hinge fixings, and slacken off the clamping bolt.

2. Swing the generator away from the engine to tension the belt. Use a wooden lever (a hammer handle will do) be- tween the generator and engine block to getthe right tens ion.

3. While the belt is held under tension, tighten the clamp bolt. Re-check the tension and if it is correct re-tighten the hinge fixings.

*1. On cars with split pulley adjustment, undo the nuts holding the pulley together and take off the outer half.

*2. Remove one packing piece from the centre and ref it the outer half, with the displaced packing piece on the outside; re-tighten the nuts, taking care not to trap the fanbelt near the hub.

*3• With the pulley assembled, rotate the engine one revolu- tion before checking the tension.
