Re: [Amc-list] Removing the fan belt (adjusting the alternator)

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bruce,

There is a forked braket beneath the alternator. 
There is a through bolt in that bracket which passes
through a flange in the alternator.  You will need to
loosen the nut on that bolt in order to adjust the
alternator position.

Regards,
Joe Fulton
