Lankymanxg 0 Posted June 21, 2019 Hi guys I've just replaced the alternator belt in my xg and it's still squeeling on startup and going low speed with headlights on,I'm just wandering how tight it needs to be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banno 479 Posted June 21, 2019 Belt deflection for them as quoted by factory is 10-11 mm. If you look at the top mounting bolt and bracket you will notice that it’s on kinda rack and pinion system if it hasn’t been stripped out. Just loosen all the mounting bolts a little then loosen the top bolt and rotate inner bolt (gear driven) on the mounting bracket rack till you get tight tension and tighten outer boltSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
