RedRider3141 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I've been helping my buddy with his '87 Pathfinder and we where diagnosing a weak alternator when we found that 1) the Alternator Belt is stretched to the limit of the tensioner and 2) the tensioner bolt is snapped. The Bolt that holds the alternator in place it OK just the little bolt that helps you crank it into position. Short of using an extractor to pull out the bolt is there some where I can buy just the little square block that holds/ adjusts the alternator belt tension?

Tungsten Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Fan/Water Pump/Alternator belts that are too long is very common on these engines. Gates or OEM Bando belts should be good here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man, sorry for the delayed response. I really appreciate the offer but it's probably too late now. I'll check my local dealer, I need to stop by for some parts for my '01 anyways.
