I have a 2003 SAN with the 330 Excalibur with the separate alternator belt and water pump belt. The alternator belt finally gave out and I have both new belts in hand. There is no tensioning pully and, from what I can tell, these rely on traditional leveraging to tension of the cable combined with locking down the bolt on the alternator / pump. I have read about the 1/2" deflection check for the alternator belt (e.g., in the limited manual repair description), but is there any other advice on tensioning these??? Get a board to leverage and go at it??? The alternator belt is "behind" the pump belt, so I assume the only way to replace the alternator belt is to remove the pump belt, install the alternator belt, and then replace the pump belt. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
