Re: 'APPY ALTERNATOR CHANGE
How about posting up a simple step by step guide to fitting an alternator? I could then add a link to it to the alternator wiring sticky as it might be useful for others

Re: 'APPY ALTERNATOR CHANGE
fan belt tightness should be no different.
either just enough to turn the fan blades with one finger. or enough to deflect the longest section of belt by the width of two fingers.

Re: 'APPY ALTERNATOR CHANGE
If you can turn the fan blades inside the fan belt - it's TOO SLACK! You should be able to turn the engine with the fan blades......
