I don't have them and I need to reinstall my tensioner. There are 3 bolts, what thread and length are they?

Also, how do I adjust the crank/alt belt?

Thanks.
 
i cant help u with the tensioner, but i can help u with tighntning the alt. belt.

- look at the alternator from the front. near the top of it on the right side u will see a long bolt. its a 12 mm. follow that bolt up to the end of it where it goes into a bracket. on the right if that bracket u will see the head of another bolt, its also a 12mm. this one is kinda hard to get too with a wrench but u can bust it loose with some pursuasion. loosen that bolt a good bit. once that bolt is loose, go back down to the long ass one i talked about first. tighten that bolt and keep feeling the belt after a few full turns, tighten the bolt until the belt is tight enough for u, then re-tighten the other bolt (the one thats a bi*** to get) and your done. :thumb:
