4AGE Blacktop Alternator/Water pump tensioner

Postby wlglevin » Sat Mar 05, 2016 10:34 pm

Hi all,
I replaced my blacktop's power steering/aircon belt today and wanted to do the alternator/water pump one (not timing belt) at the same time. For the life of me I couldn't see how to get to the latter belt's tensioner adjustment bolt. Any suggestions?

Thanks

If it's the one I'm thinking about. Get a couple of long extension bars on your socket set and drop down next to the engine oil dipstick, thats how I do it.
