I started to get somebelt squeal so I picked up an alternator and a
power steering belt with the intent to change them.  That lead to a
few questions:

1.  Does 12 MM sound right for the power steering pump?  10 and 11
would not fit, 13 too big.  No 12mm in 3 metric sets.  1/2 in no good
either.  :-(

2.  Decided to take up a little slack on the alternator belt to quiet
things down tomorrow when I will pick up a 12 MM end wrench in my
travels. Noticed the alternator flexes when the belt is pushed on.
Quite noticeable flex.  Is this normal?  12 MM impact socket worked on
the alternator.

I would have checked the service web site but my password and login
have not come back yet.  More than 30 minutes so it does not seem to
be one of those automated "give us your name and we give you a number"
type sites.

12mm is the correct size.  You should check into the alternator to be sure
it's secure on top and bottom.  

In regard to the site, it's my understanding from Hyundai that they intend
to track use.

If it's still a problem and you are having trouble.  It wouldn't hurt
to simply take the car in for servicing.  If it's not covered under
anything than avoid the stealership  (dealership) and find a trustable
mechanic.  ASE certified is best.

1.  Partial solution, was 12MM.  Also found out bottom alternator bolt
is loose so free play in alternator is not normal.  When I asked the
guy at the parts store about belts he missed the air conditioning belt
so I wll be pulling the plastic chield tonight to replace all 3 belts
and tighten the alternator.

2.  Basic math.  the shop charges $50 - $75 /hour to run a wrench.  I
get paid $12 as the wages around here in the private sector are
sliding downhill fast.  How many hours do I have to work to pay for
the time in the shop?
