Today i removed the entire PS+AC bracket to replace all the accesory mount bushings - took about 30-40 mins.
Upon reassembly I couldn't get the pulleys to line up - consulted both Bently and Chilton and noted that the previous owner had some real "African Engineering" in the pulley config.
While following the Belt layout things just got worse.
The dual pulley for the AC was protruding way to far to the front (15-18mm).
Started looking at the cresent brackets under the compressor and noticed that they were on the inside of the flange-ears
Moved them to the outer side of the ears and i had about a 10 mm over-expansion to the bushings and the pulley was cock-eyed.
Threw a wratchet strap on the crank and AC pulleys and zipped it closer to line but crawled under to see the mounts were being warped!
Should the cresent brackets be on corresponding sides (fore /fore) or oppositional (fore/aft) ???
