hi folks havin trouble fitting a new alternator belt.
last one came off really easy but the new one is a right bastard to get on,
its the same part no but wont go on.
i was told to soak it in hot water,
does this work or does anyone know an easy way?

easy way is to undo the fan blades and pulley - put the belt on and then tighten the pulley again.

yu have slackened the alternator completely?
 
cheers mate.
no didn't slacken alternator but i was following haynes manual which i've found in the past is crap for explanation
