Urgent! Alternator Belt Help!

[theianmonster]

I can't get this new alternator belt in. There is about an inch of work space and I can't get the A/C pump to rotate to get the front belt off, this is frustrating, I need to finish this today.

HELP!?

there is a bolt that goes thru the ac pump on the lower right side its a adjustment bolt most the time i have had to remove that bolt completely just so the ac pump will roll back far enough so that belt can come off and then you can change your alt belt

How do you get the bolt all the way out, considering the space between the pump and the strut tower is tighter than the bolt is long?

if you wanna know how fun this bolt is here is mine lol mine has never made its way back into the car

leave that one your decribing in the car you only need to loosen it the one i showed is the one that will fight you every step of the way its on the lower right side if you are looking directly from the front

That **** is easy to change. Shi the BH engine bay is tighter than the BG and I can literally change both belts in 30 minutes

Well, I don't work on Mazdas, I was going to build this car but decided not to because I've got a twin turbo 240Z to finish and NA-T Toyota Cressida. So, I'm glad you're baller.

Thank's 90Protege for your help.
