How to change alternator belt ?

[imydaking]

So i got my alternator belt changed about 6 months ago and am assuming the garage did it up too tight as it's all frayed on the edges. Am goign to change it myself this time, just need a bit of help.

I do have a haynes guide but ermm it isnt so clear in that.

I have a Saxo 1.1 Mk2 i've attached a pic of the alternator.

It's abit dark, but from that picture, it looks like the tensioner bolt is missing. There should be a 9mm threaded long bolt that you would tighten or slacken to adjust tension. Then there is a 13mm lock off nut running parallel to the engine (just under the mounting bracket).

If you got a garage to do it, they probably didn't tighten or put the locking nut back on, so the tensioner bolt has vibrated loose. Can you move the alternator backwards and forwards? Get a better picture? :y:

You have posted the same question 3 times :wacko:
