To answer the question, yes, you will have to hold the pulley while torquing the bolt. It is a small detail I missed in the original DIY, and it has been edited to now include that information.
Here is yet another DIY for the NST pulley on a Scion tC for anyone that wants yet another example of how to install this piece correctly. Sexy car, too... check out the orange rims! http://www.tunerzine.com/articlestzcorner.asp?id=219 Last edited by ChinoCharles; 04-13-2007 at 01:13 PM. |

I would suggest grabbing a friend really quick and having them loop a shop rag or something through one of the holes in the pulley. I explained this in the first post. Sorry for the confusion.

Cool, thanks Chino!
BTW, that Scion is awesome! But what's that odd little red ring on the bumper? Does it talk when you pull the string? ~YR

LOL! When you pull it the car's hydraulic suspension makes it do a jig.
Actually, its a tow hook for when race cars get into trouble and need to be carted off the course quickly. |

ATTN CHINO
QUOTE The next step is releasing the tension on your belt. Luckily, these are Toyotas and our namesake made this process very easy. There is a 14mm bolt next to the alternator that sits in a banana-shaped groove. First, mark the position of the bolt so you know how much tension was on the belt stock. Now if you loosen this bolt, the alternator and its pulley will slide forward, thus releasing tension on your belt. It isn't easy, but a quick couple bashings with a prybar and a rubber mallet should do the trick. where the hell is it?? i cant find no 14mm bolt in / next to the banana shaped grove..... my car is half hacked and i need to know asap!!! OR IF ANYONE KNOWS!! PLZ!!

aah, there may be a difference in size between the two countries...
I have not done this mod myself, but try and loosen the other screw holding the alternator, maybe it's too tight and won't allow the whole thing to pivot.

It ain't easy Hasher! Grab a mallet and a chisel and make her move! That is, after you've loosened that bolt. I'll keep an eye on this thread this morning in case you run into any other issues, or just PM me or send me a message on AIM.

some time you need to loosen up the other bolts up just a tad to get them to move instead of resorting to the hammer

What he said... I just usually resort to hammers. I'm hoping his lack of response means he had some luck.

Yeah, try loosening that pivot bolt at the bottom of the alternator... if it was too tight, it could probably prevent it from rotating. Maybe they used too much thread locker on it and it gummed up the swiveling part....
