my 97 gsr with about 73000 miles on it, all stock except an air filter is making a horrible squeak at idle. i know its the one of the belts, but i think its the alternator belt. ive tried belt dressing and it only helps for a day tops.

how do i tighten the belts? or take them off and replace them. id like to see pics of the process if i could, because im broke and i wanna do it myself.

any suggestions? anyone in florida area willing to help me out?

thanx in advance
easy

 

somebody knows somthing, COME ON!

 

well first just take a chill pill then second you will have to spray one belt at the time and when the squeek stops then what ever belt you just sprayed is the one you have to replace and there is a tensioner bolt on that pulley some where that you can loosen and take the belt off and go get another and put it back on then tighten the tensioner and you will be golden

 

I recently changed my alternator belt, it was a ***** to get the new one on there.

 

how much of a b!tch was it?? i want some details if im going to do this. it is my alternator belt.

 

loosening the bolts wasn't so hard, getting the old belt off wwasn't so hard either. But putting on a damn new firm belt is a *****, just fit on the bottom pulley first then work on getting it on the top one.

 

i was looking at the belts earlier today and it looks like i would have to take the other 2 belts off to get the alt. belt off. it looks like a real b!tch.
