Best Answer

Seized should mean that it's not turning. Crank the engine and see if the alternator pulley spins or not.

What belt do i need to bypass the ac compressor on my 2001 Honda Civic lx?

The A/C clutch only engages when the A/C is on, so unless the pump is seized and you don't want to fix it, there is no reason to put on a "short belt". The belt that runs the A/C also runs the alternator so if the compressor is seized you would need a shorter belt to drive the alternator. The best way to measure would be to adjust the alternator bolt/bracket midway or slightly shorter and measure with a string and find a belt that is close.


What millage should you maintenance an alternator for vehicle?

The only thing which really gets serviced is the the belt, and that'll vary by vehicle. Inspect your belt regularly, and replace as needed. The alternator itself, all you really need to do is inspect the mounting brackets to ensure that they remain intact and the alternator remains properly aligned. You replace or rebuild the alternator when it goes out, whether due to seized bearings, insufficient voltage, etc.
