I'm attempting to change the alternator. Of course you first must remove drivebelt. When I turn bolt counterclockwise to release tension on the belt, the bolt starts to back out - I'm pretty ticked off right now as I'm being eaten alive by mosqito's in 90 deg, humid weather. I cannot gather my thoughts without explitives & wrench throwing. Can someone help. PLEASE?

Hi
Look on tensioner for a square cut hole. Place the end on a breaker bar and rotate tensioner off remove belt. And get some Off
Hope this helps

Thanks Doc ! I'm on it !

I tried the new " Blue Listerine", you know, the mouthwash - works better than Off for mosiqitos and leaves me smelling sweet but a little sticky. The wife heard my cussing and the saw tools flying up the driveway AND noticed the "sweet" smell about me. At least my blood pressure returned to normal after a "roll in 'da hay" ! Try it !
THX AGAIN,
Marc ;o)
