Replacing Fan/Aux belt

[DanielM]

Hi, Ive just joined the forum so hello to all. Basically I have a 95' M reg corsa 1.2 and the aux/fan belt is either slipping or nackered as it squeels nearly all the time. The belt seems pretty tight with the normal amount of play as it should have. Now I want to change it just for peace of mind and thought it was relatively simple so had a go the other day but couldnt for the life of me get the alternator to move/slacken.

Does anyone have a good guide on which bolts need to be removed/loosened in order to do this. Any help or pics would be greatly appreciated.

Also the cars being sold soon so dont want to buy a haynes manual just for this job.

Thanks in advance.

its easy to do mate but explainin it is another matter, might be worth u goin to te garage and asking which 2 bolts u need to loosen and tighten, im sure they wouldnt mind doin that

usually the altanator has a movable arm on it that you loosen and can ajust the taughtness. just follow the belt around and try to find the tensioners and loosen them, i cant really explain. but its common sense if you take a while and just look at it
