After burning up my alternator belt, I did as instructed and the alternator seemed to turn freely, so I figured I'll buy a belt, and put it on, check and see how that runs (92 Jetta).
So there's 3 belts on this thing
1) crank to power steering 2) crank to water pump to AC 3) AC to alternatorHaving to replace the AC to alternator belt I figured I simply slip off the #2 belt listed above to get room to the inside of the AC pulley, and I'm set. Well, I even removed the adjustment bolts on the AC and moved it down, but still not enough room to get the belt off... I have no freaken idea why its such a problem, but there isn't enough slack to get the belt off... The AC appears to be down as far as it will go as I think it touches the brackets it adjusts to without any further room.
Has anybody experienced this kind of problem? Is there some kind of special trick? Help
