2. Remove the old alternator belt from the pulley.
3. Insert the new alternator belt into the pulley.
4. Rotate the alternator belt tensioner pulley using a 1/2 inch square drive ratchet until the tensioner bolt makes contact with the alternator bracket.
5. Tighten the Alternator Belt Tensioner bolt using a 14 mm socket and ratchet.
6. Start the engine and check the alternator belt tension. The belt should have about 1/2 inch of play between the pulleys.
