Re: Alternator Belt Ripping (Accessory Belt)

Thanks for the answers. In terms of ripping, I'm sure the belt is old, but it almost looks as if the edge of a pulley ate into it. It could very well just be from age. It is on there tighter than any other car I've owned so I can imagine if something were to be hitting it that isn't supposed to, it ...

Alternator Belt Ripping (Accessory Belt)

For reference, I'm driving a 1986 4wd automatic wagon.

I've looked through the guides on here along with my repair manual, but I can't seem to find anything about belts except for the timing belt. It looks fairly self explanatory, but if anyone has experience replacing theirs, I'd like a little ...

Re: IMPORTANT! POWER STEERING FLUID WARNING ! ! !

I know this is a super old thread, but I just bought an 86 wagon, and upon inspection found that that the wrong power steering has been used. It did exactly what you said, tore up the CV boot.
