Alternater Belt

RE: Alternater Belt
If the engine is out of the car now, realize that most Civic engines cannot be installed (or removed) with the alternator attached. It looks like it should fit, but it won't. You have to lower the engine in and then put the alternator on.
If the pulley on the front of the alternator is a different type of belt than the main pulley on the engine, remove the nut and change the pulley out. An impact wrench makes this easy because then you don't have to hold the alternator from turning with great force that could damage something.
