I need to replace the alternator and it's been a few years since I've done this, the last time my car had the old "V" belt around the alternator but this has a flat belt. The alt. looks easy enough but how do you handle the belt?? How do your loosen it & then tighten it back. A diagram would help. Thank You Roger chickenhouse Enthusiast Feb 11, 2010, 9:51 PM Post #2 of 4 (4877 views) Re: 93 Chrysler MiniVan Alternator replacement & Belt Sign In This is the serpentine belt system, 1 belt runs everything. There is a diagram on the core support or thereabouts showing the proper routing of the belt if you take it completly off. There is 1 pully that is a belt tensioner, it has a bolt in the middle of it (usually) that you put a wrench on and it will move up, allowing freeplay on the belt. Slide the belt off the alternator pulley and release the tension from the idler pulley. Then you can R&R the alt. Of course the battery has been disconnected, same way as the V-belt engines.

It set's next to the fire wall & I can't even get a socket on the bolt head. You have to approach it from the drivers side & you can't even see the bolt head. Thank You re-tired Veteran / Moderator Feb 23, 2010, 7:34 PM Post #4 of 4 (4845 views) Re: 93 Chrysler MiniVan Alternator replacement & Belt Sign In It's best reached from under the van . Best done with a floor jack and a good set of jackstands . If your going to be a DiY'er, it's the price you pay .As your skills increase so will your tool and equipment collection . Before you know it you will be almost brought to tears when your wife gives you a 3/8 drive triple chrome plated 30' offset fine tooth ratchet costing two days pay for an anniversary gift.
