97 2.5 TL belt/s question
Does anyone know if you can put the alternator belt on without having to take anything out like the radiator or fan? My belt snapped and I just ordered a new one. I just dont know how hard it will be to put in.
Im getting someone to install it, but I dont know if this is something I can do myself? I installed the new radiator myself a few months back and it was a pain in the ass, so I just dont want to personally go through that again installing the new belt, if thats what I have to do. It would have been a lot easier if Acura put the alternator belt on the outside of the other bigger one!! |

This is probably a little too late, but if I remmeber correctly, the alternator belt is the one all the way inside, you'll need to remove the P/S belt, then the A/C belt, then the alternator belt. It'll be a good 1-2 hr job for most mechanics. The job is doable on your own, I do it myself. You'll need to loosen about 10 different bolts and adjust 3 others in order to get the job done. You'll also need to know how much tension to put on the new belt so that it won't snap again. Too tight will also cause premature wear on the bearings.
