elantra accessory belt replacement
I bought a used'95 Elantra, 1.8L with the A/C belt missing. I'm going to
install the A/C belt to find out why it was originally removed. My two questions are: does the idler bracket for the A/C have to be removed to replace the belt since it seems to be captured. Also, does the power steering pump have a similar tensioner as the alternator or do I have to adjust the tension with a pry bar. My Chilton manual doesn't show much details. Thanks. |
Re: elantra accessory belt replacement
It's been a while, but if I recall correctly, you DO need to remove the a/c
tensioner to replace the a/c belt. You'll need to use a pry bar on the power steering pump. I believe it's possible to sneak all the belts off this car without removing or loosening the motor mount, but you may wish to remove it anyway for additional accessibility. |

Thanks for the reply. I've owned and worked on several Hyundais and this
one by far has the least clearance between the pulleys and the fenderwall. The A/C and alternator belts have to be squeezed sideways in order to remove and install. No room at all for hands. I can't wait to do the timing belt on this one. It may be easier to pull the motor. |
