Drive belt assembly

remove battery neg lug first. do not yank off alternator wires! until
this step is done first, or boom fire or eat acid.

which engine, we cant guess them here.
my guess H27 v6, wrong the 3.6L


all belts covered on car. (accessory)

here is a real 2007 page
seem you get lost at step 7
right>?


the alternator is NOT adjustable
so why ask this?
the $4 FSM covers this.
under drive belt replacement.
Drive Belt Replacement


Removal Procedure

Remove the air cleaner assembly. Refer to Air Cleaner Assembly Replacement .

if the post was to remove alternator? is it
do above
then unbolt alt.
end guessing what you are doing....

adjust ur belt by following steps
now that you know where the components are these components are driven by a belt. So when you turn your AC on there’s a belt that’s driving the AC compressor, when you turn the stirring wheel and you have that nice that easy feel of turning the stirring wheel when you’re parallel parking your car that’s the power stirring pump doing its job. Your alternator is keeping the battery charged, the lights on and the engine running. So I want to show you where the belts are, what they look like, how to adjust them and how to tell a bad belt from a good belt. As you can see these are your drive belts, this is the AC drive belt it drives the AC compressor, this is the alternator drive belt it drives the alternator, if you look down here you can see this is where the adjustment is on that AC compressor belt, if you look right here this is the top adjusting bolt for adjusting the alternator either up or down to tighten or loosen the belt. There’s a bolt down here that locks the alternator in place and this bolt is the pivot bolt for the alternator. So if you’re going to let’s say remove your alternator belt you’d have to remove these covers, loosen this bolt, loosen this bolt that’s underneath this cover and adjust this bolt to either lower the alternator or raise the alternator, if you’re belt was too loose you’ll pull up on the alternator, if the belt was too tight you’ll

no year, stated, nor engine option so all answers will be weak to useless..... posting country helps too as other countries use different engine.... so....... be the first ever in 8000 post to do that... ill be shocked.
its in the book, its not simple like my jeeps.
its a PITA.
but you can read the words, all of them all the steps
in the FSM or at alldata.com

i log in , and put in year, and camry.
i pick cooling , i pick 1mZ engine.
i then see?///??????? (random pasted) you can too, or get and FSM.
