[Vwdiesel] Alternator update.

[Milt Kaplan]

Thanks for continuing tips. I did get one screw loose using Marvel lubricating oil and Vicegrips. No luck with hot wax trick. The impact driver might be a worthwhile tool---if I can find one.Didn't see it in my Harbor Freight Tools catalog.
Was also necessary to drill slightly larger hole in the case to accept the thru bushing alternator bolt.Still trying to figure out how to change the belt to one a bit longer. Need to pivot the case a bit upwards to avoid bumping radiator rim.
I don't see the tensioner as shown in Bentley. There is a 2 inch long bolt that looks like some type of adjustor but I don't see what it adjusts. Has power steering and ac pulleys to deal with. Confused about loosening the compressor mount to pivot it, to remove/change belt.More ideas or detail on belt changing?
