2. We apply force 98 Η (10 kgf) to the alternator belt exactly in the middle between the alternator pulley and the engine crankshaft pulley.
Recommendation: A correctly adjusted belt should flex about 8 mm. If the belt deflection is not correct, adjust the belt tension.
Tip: If it is difficult to estimate the force created by the hand, you can use a household steelyard with a maximum allowable load of 10 kg.
3. socket wrench by 13 mm with a ratchet, we loosen the tightening of the nut of the bolt of the lower mounting of the generator.
4. In the engine compartment with a box wrench by 13 mm loosen the tensioner nut.
5. Rotating socket wrench by 10 mm with ratchet adjusting bolt, adjustable belt tension (clockwise to increase the tension of the belt, and counterclockwise to decrease).
Warning! Excessive belt tension can lead to failure of the alternator front bearing.
6. Check the tension of the alternator belt (see above) and repeat the adjustment if necessary.
7. After making sure that the belt is tensioned correctly, with a ring wrench by 13 mm tighten the tension bar nut.
8. socket wrench by 13 mm tighten the nut of the bolt of the lower mounting of the generator.
