Alternator belt

Gave the old girl some revs and had a few seconds of a flapping noise. Wtahced temp which was fine. Then noticed the charging light was on. So, assuming the belt has gone, is it as easy as the manual implies?



I'm also a bit stumped at the menthod of tensioning:



7. Apply a force of 10 kg to alternator drive belt at

position ’X’ and measure the deflection

between crankshaft pulley and alternator

pulley. Deflection must be 6 - 8 mm.







any easy ways?



Finally, are all 1.8 belts the same?
