air con removal...help

[durmz]

ive removed the lot as per the forum on how to remove....i cant seem to rack my head around how to replace the belt?? im sure this makes me an idiot. ive loosened a bolt that looked like it was pushing against the top of the top wheel, holding the tension, but when i loosened it it just came away....am i talking sense? hit with hammer?

have you bught the smaller belt?, it's just the case of fitting the new belt and tensioning the p/s pump up

 

[GTdan]

did you get the smaller belt or trying to refit the belt?

 

[durmz]

na ive got the new belt, its just i havent got a scooby how to fit it...sound stupid i know, this is suppose to be the easy bit lol, ive loosened what im pretty damn sure is the belt tensioner and nuthins budging. just to confirm i got a 4 ribbed 913 mm belt. uk starlet no aircon..?

yer you need a n/a starlet belt

and if its the right bolt it must be seized give it a tap with hammer dont do it so you damage it tho put a block of wood ontop of it or sumat

 

[durmz]

yer thas the right belt i believe, i tried whacking it with plastic mallet, nothing. im pretty sure i got right bolt, its just sticking up outta nowhere, pushing against like an arm connected to the top wheel...

have you loosen the p/s mounting bolt's first?

If you have a n/a belt or a belt purchased from either toy tuning or dave, then it should fit no problem, did mine in like 45 mins. I had to tap the p/s pump where it loosens to get it to budge a bit which you might expect from an old car imo lol

14mm bolts that secure the pump to block/bracket, you need to just loosen them off a bit then fit belt, tension it up and then tightem up the 14mm bolts after

The bracket that holds the tensioner that you have loosened off also has another bolt on it.

The tensioner bolt sits vertically and this other bolt sits horizontally, slightly further down and closer to the block. If you follow the "slot" you will see it on there, it has a funny shaped "nut, with a hooked flap on it. You should be fit to move the pump without loosening any of the top bracket bolts, so dont forget to tighten them back up again.

You also need to refit the a/c pressure sensor back on. Its the round one on top of the cansiter that sat in front of the rads. Just plug it in and cable tie it to the rest of the loom to stop it rattling about.

i got my belt off toby @ toy tuning. didnt loosen anything off to get it on, just got as many teeth as i could on and then put her in gear and turned one wheel to get the crank to move (no LSD )

haha! good thinking! i managed to get it on in the end, i just missed one of the 14mm bolts, found it underneath in the end woop woop.
