    Alternator/Power Steering belt And Air Conditioning Belt Replacement

    Geo A replied to Gambit's topic in Subaru How-To Section
    Cheers Gambit Just picked up my first (normally aspirated,I know I'm not quite there yet) Subaru 2.0 R Sport. My mate who sold it said it had a bit of a squeal on start up and notchy power steering until the engine warmed up he had it serviced before sale and the garage said all the belts were tight. I came on the forum looking for info on power steering belt and found your article. Clearly the mechanic must have been metric and did not know what a 1/4 inch of slack looks like! So, armed with my 10 and 12 mm sockets, I loosen two bolts, tweak the tensioner, tighten it all up and hey presto, no squeal. Happy that its not too tight to wear the pulley out, so one happy bunny. Thanks for the article. Cheers George
