Re: [DML] Fan belt installation

[Adrian Dunker <aod80@xxxxxxx>]

Yes, to replace the alternator belt, you'll have to loosen the alternator
brackets.  You'll need 2 large wrenches (I forget which sizes), but those
will be enough to do the job.  And (IMPORTANT) disconnect the battery before
doing anything with the alternator.  Once the belt is on, adjust the
alternator brackets to make the belt tight.  This is easier if you have a
helper.

Good luck,
