Why Can't I Figure This Out Myself? AC Belt Tension 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Elderx on  Sun May 26 11:23 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Thanks for the advice, I also saw an older message after I posted this one that spoke of the soft metal on the bolt heads. This was helpful. I used a good 6 point socket and was able to easily remove the front pulley half and take out a couple of shims. I put the belt back over the pulley and then re-installed the pulley bolts rotating the shaft as I tightened the bolts a little at a time. It worked well and wasn't too terrible of a job. Although an adjusting bracket on the AC compressor would be an easier way. I removed the fan and shroud and this helped with better access and in keeping the socket aligned so as not to round off the bolt heads. This forum is a great resource. This is my 4th Volvo but it has been a few years since I owned one. Wish this had been available when i had the others. Thanks again.
