how do I loosen fan belt to remaove alternator for replacement of alternator?
you should have three belts total. Going from the fan towards the distributer the first belt should be the power steering, then the actual fan belt, then the third belt is the alternator / a/c belt, i hope this is helpful for you! So for the answer to your question, there is one fan belt, the second belt in from the fan!
your fan belt may be connected to your alternator if so loosen alternator romove belt put new one on and pull alternator back until proper tension is aqquired tighten

The fan belt is fit onto a Mercedes Vito by loosening the alternator bracket and allowing it to move downward. The belt can then be slipped over the remaining pulleys and then back over the alternator.
You have to take off the alternator to be able to reach the fan . After you should oiul the belt to slip on the fan very easy . Put the alternator back on and your ready to go .
The serentine belt keeps your cooling fan turning and also helps the alternator which keeps your battery charged. The belt runs everything, power steering pump, water pump alternator as mentioned above as well as the air conditioning compressor and smog pump.
The only power sent TO the alternator is rotational motion, usually from the fan belt.
Most likely it is a loose fan belt (commonly used on older vehicles, prior to the newer serpentine style belt). The fan belt can be tightened by loosening the alternator mounting bolts and adjusting the alternator tension on the belt.
Loosen the alternator and push the alternator down and pull the belt off, put new belt over crank and water pump pulleys and around alternator pulley and pull up on the alternator to where the belt is tight and tighten the alternator bolts down.
nope, not for a fan anyways, for alternator, water pump ect it does
