etc Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) 1998 Subaru Legacy 2.2L I am trying to put the alternator back on but cannot figure out the slider bolt. Where does the bracket on the bottom go? The second thing, I seem to have lost the big alternator bolt, incredibly. Could I use a shorter one as a substitute for the time being, until I visit the local junk yard? It appears I broke my AC tensioner: Question, what do I with the bracket (to the left of the AC belt tensioner)? Where does it go?

It looks like my tensioner is broker? Can I still use it? http://www.lovehorsepower.com/SubaruDocs/TimingWaterPump.htm Edited July 3, 2009 by etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john in KY Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 The arrow is pointing I believe to the nut used on that now missing long alternator bolt. You can't adjust either of the pulley without first loosing the nut located in the center of the pulley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmark7 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Thats tha a/c youre talking about, the small 'nut' thing is the nut for the back of the long alt bolt which goes between the ac and the alt, actually the bolt i believe goes through both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etc Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 Any chance of shooting pics of how it should be? I don't get it. I know I should have taken pics before taking these things apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmark7 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 it goes behind where the alt 'hinges' on the a/c compressor it holds that long bolt on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
