bishop087 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hi All- I was just wondering if there is a post around on how to change these damn squeaky belts in my '99 Outback Impreza wagon. It doesn't look all that hard, I just don't want to miss any small step that might make or break the job. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbusa Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I just changed my a/c and alt belts on my 96 2.2L. It was really easy. Crank the alt adjuster down until you can remove the belt, slap the new one on and crank it back up until the belt is tight. On the a/c belt I removed the 2 bolts holding the roller tensioner on, removed it and the belt came right off. Reverse procedure to install. I'm guessing you can do this job in a 1/2 hour.

Skip Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I would just like to add one small but important item. Loosen the lock nut before cranking the adjuster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
