03-08 FX35 AWD belt diagram

[adanieljohnson1]

just replaced my alternator belt! what a piece of cake... I didn't even have to take off the wind shield.. I just used 15mm on the I/D pulley (A) and a 13mm on the bottom bolt (B). I also used wrench/ adjustable beak bar to get to the bottom bolt (B). Btw, I just torqued them until the belt had about a 1/4 inch of play, had the wife turn on the FX35 and fine tuned it until the squeaking went away...

Good stuff! They aren't hard but if u live in the Midwest, sometimes they are so rusted and frozen. Ive seen plenty of broken ones. You should of done the ac belt too.

I like to go by feel, see how tight it was before I took off the old one by pushing down on them. And if they don't squeal on startup.

I hope you don't mean you reaching and keep tighten the bolt while the engine is running.
