Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / February 2007Alternator Adjustments
Okay, when driving my 1976 300D back from Chicago to Columbus, there was a noticeable drop in electrical power. The belt needs more tension as it is floppy. The bolt on the front alternator bracket looks like it has a gear built onto it. Any tips or hints (other than "be careful") about loosening this 'gear bolt' ? Thanks!! biodieselbob schrieb: > Okay, when driving my 1976 300D back from Chicago to Columbus, there > was a noticeable drop in electrical power. The belt needs more > tension as it is floppy.

Loosen the axis bolt at the lower mount a bit before you start tuning the top gear.  SignatureRoland Franzius Loosen BOTH bolts on the alternator's pivot side before adjusting the tension bolt (I find that's easier from below). Signature© 2007 T.G.Lambach.
