I changed my alternator and hook everthing back together but none of the wheel on the belt dont want to spend

sometimes it helps to tell what model, engine size , ect of what you are working on.

always take the negative battery terminal off to avoid shorting the charge wire. Next, remove the serpentine belt by twisting the tensioner loose. Then you can remove the alternator bolts. Let me know if you have more questions.

This is for a 1999 1.8 Diesel 55 Escort Van.

You have to remove a few parts but its not a major dilema. Almost all work needs to be carried out from under the van, so it needs jacking up.

1. Disconnect battery. Loosen bolts on FR wheel, jack up high and take wheel off. MAKE SURE HANDBRAKE IS ON AND WORKING!!!

2. Inside the wheel arch is a cover that goes over the alternator, three bolts to remove.

3. From under the van you will see a tension wheel keeping the belt tight. It requires a star shaped fitting to loosen, if you dont have one you can use a small ratchet piece that grips it.

4. Once belt is loose remove the two nuts holding the tension wheel in place. Keep to one side and remember how it goes back.

5. You now have access to the three bolts holding the alternator in place. Its tight and a little tricky but persevere and they will come out.

6. Wiggle the old unit out, unbolt the two wires on the alternator, bolt back onto the new unit.

7. Do the rest in reverse. When putting tension back on the belt do not over tighten, belt should just feel firm.

Remember to connect the battery again! And use a volt meter to test battery. You should get around 14v with engine running.

Done.

First unhook battery. Then unplug connectors and wire. Loosen bolts to take tension off of belt. Remove belt remove bolts holding alt. Place new alt in spot remember wich holes go where so not upside down replace bolts dont tighten yet. Install belt on all pulleys tighten tensioner bolt on alt bracket to snug tension after proper tension is achieved tighten all bolts and nuts. replace all plugs and wires reconnect battery pay attention to pos and neg dont hook up battery backwards. Congrats your done.

They have diagrams for the routing of the new belt..
As for actually doing it.
1. you need to release the tension idler to release belt. This can be done with a simple ratchet, its spring loaded so it takes some muscle.
fit the new belt in the correct routing from the website i gave you and there you go.

FIRST THING TO CHECK. BATTERY VOLTAGE IT SHOULD BE 12.5 VOLTS.IF NOT HAVE IT CHARGED AND TESTED.IF CHARGED AND GOOD. CHECK ALTERNATOR ALTERNATOR OUT PUT.IT SHOULD BE 13.5 TO 14.5 VOLTS WITH CAR RUNNING IF NOT.HAVE ALTERNATOR REMOVE AND TESTED MAKE SURE.BECAUSE IT COULD BE A BLOWED FUSE OR FUSE LINK.BELT SLIPPING AND ALTERNATOR WIRES BROKEN OR MAKING BAD CONNECTION.DUE TO RADIO LOCK OUT FEATURES .DONT FORGET TO TURN OFF RADIO BEFORE REMOVING THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE.

Hi,

first remove the batttery connections. second remove the belt that goes around it either by the tensioner if serpentine or if v-belt. the alternator i think on that car is underneath the passenger side of the wheel well. remove if there the dust cover. there is 2 bolts that hold it on the mount less than 6 inches apart ( top and botton) remove the positive connection and the plug. to put back on reverse the procedure.

Thanks.

if u mean the fan belt ??,the power steering pump have tensioner undo the bolt and move to close to the belt if u wanna try on the belt on if dont ,try using the alternator tensioner after that tight it all up also make sure the belt is tighten up not slacken

I just did an alternator replacement on my 93 Diamante, and it is a doozy. I'm a professional mechanic and I have quite some experience with this kind of stuff too. The alternator will not just come out, even after removing the belt / bolts / axle (for access).

The trick is to push the now loosened alternator up and back then turn it 180 degrees so that the pulley side is inward. then you can work it out if you properly use the shallow depression in the **** main beam while avoiding the chunk of aluminum that protrudes from the engine block near the timing belt cover. At first you will swear it cannot come out. You can also use a prybar to GENTLY push up the motor between the subframe and the oil pan. Do not push hard. The alternator will come out if you wiggle and jiggle it.

I used a lift and had complete access to this area and it was still horrible. Good luck.
