    Default how to replace a vl commodore altenator belt

    hi guys does anyone know how to replace this belt properly as the only way i seem to be able to do it is with a screw driver and basically jimmying it on. who knows how to do it the right way?

    on the top side of the alternator there should be a bolt that goes though a bracket,
    undo it and it will pivot the alternator so you can fit/remove the belt
    if still to tight just crack the other bolt which holds the alternator on, this requires a spanner on each end

    pink circle is the bracket
