Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Corvette / April 20041989 Drive Belt Replacement
Hi Going to replace the belt in my car. What size is the tensioner bolt? 1/2" I supose... Thanks Dan 89 Coupe Blk on Blk Don't think there is a bolt, just a 1/2 inch square hole to put your ratchet/breaker bar in to rotate it out of the way. The C4 has been gone for a long time so I'm going by an old memory.

It's 1/2 inch but, on the '89, the clearance between the crossmember and the tensioner is very sparce. My 1/2" breaker bar won't fit in there. Wound up shoving a stub of 1/2 inch bar stock into the tensioner and tackling that with a pipe wrench. -- One more "special tool" (that will probably get tossed out before I have to change the next belt or alternator.) Cheer up Dad, it gets worse! Regards, "Mike" -- mikeellison3xxxatzzzyahoo.com -- Hey, as the things seem to be happening of late I found my belt replacing tool. It's 1 inch of 1/2 inch square stock welded at about 60 degrees on a piece of 1/4 X 1/2 X 20 inches long bar stock with a thin wall rubber hose shoved on it.

Wasn't easy but succeeded, especially that the new belt is not stretched yet. I have questions about idle. Last night I used my car. When it was cold it was idling pretty high like about 1200 in Park. It took about a half hour to drop to 700 in Park. Is there some sort of adjustment? Question 2- As soon as I started the car (cold) I turned the a/c on, but I noticed that the cooling fan did not go on. Is that normal or should the cooling fan go on everytime I turn on the A/C? Thanks for all you help.... Dan 89 Coupe Blk on Blk > Hey, as the things seem to be happening of late I found my belt replacing > tool.
