So this morning I try to start the car and hear very wierd sounds coming from under the hood. I got out to go check and there was a rat! All messed up in there. He got tangled in both belts goin to alt and the other one (sry dk what its called ha) but they both snapped and im gettin new belts in the morning but have no clue how to get them on. Plz help
Sounds like the belt to the alternator & power steering. Just need to loosen bolts to both items & put on new belts, tension the new belts & tighten.... Should have it done in 15 minutes or less. Good luck...
if it is the power steering, when you tighten the belt...don't pry on the tank...there is a boss for a wrench to use for that...
If you have no idea how to do this, then pay somebody to do it. It won't cost that much and it will be done right.
Yea everything ive done has came from advice from here. Thanks a lot everyone im pickin up radiator from store now. (Rat also messed tht up) and pyttin belts on in the next hour. And ya it is the power steering one. But thanks a lot to all!
Now how do the belts go on. On the engine side. Like the two belts go to same pulley jus obe ib frobt of other, im pretty sure alt wire is in back? And then power steering?
Wow, they actually had a rad in stock for a 41 year old car ? I wish my parts store was that good. Just line the belts up on the pulleys that match, they pretty much only work one way.
Gotcha ya my part store is pretty good. Got it for 150. Attemptibg to install new rad and belts as we speak
Ran into problem. Everything went well but now my head unit keeps blowing fuse instantly. Doesnt even power on. It blew two diff fuses so I thought the head unit might of fried but I jus tried a diff head unit abd same thing happens? Any one know what this could be from I notice my alt light is on now I dnt rememver if it was on or not before. Could be cuz the alt is going and its protecting the head unit?
