One of the belts for my alternator has a small cut/starting to fray. I'm guesing this is from my accident. It just happened to stop showing the small fray. I'm having a hard time identifying the part. Look at some diagrams on majestic honda but wasnt really any help. Here is a picture, maybe you guys can point me in the right direction.

 

I cannot be 100% positive, but it looks like the belt you are pointing to is the Power Steering Belt and not an alternator belt. There are usually 3 belts on the civics (P/S; A/C; and Alternator).

 

I agree with Mundy. At Majestic, I found the belt in the Power Steering Pump/Bracket section.

 

o ok cool, thanks guys!!! you forsure its the power steering? also is it easy to switch out?

 

should i replace the other belts too while im at it?

 

bumped

 

How old are they? Do they look damaged at all?

 

no they all look fine even the one with the little rip. My main question is it hard to replace the belt? I looked in my Hanes manual and it wasnt very helpful, it just said take off the belt and put it back on, i know ther is more to it than that.

 

for the power steering belt it SHOULDNT be to hard... 2 bolts to loosen. look at the power steering pump. there is 1 bolt ontop that holds it tight that goes in from the side ontop. and the adjusting bolt is on the middle side along the bottom. simply look for the large channeled area... loosen the 2 bolts and put tension on the pump to tighten up the belt and tighten the 2 bolts..... and your done. very fast and easy!

bust out a flash light and youll see how easy it is. first time i looked at it i was like HOW THE HELL... turned on the overhead lights and it just jumped at me and did the stupid forehead slap... LOL

 

wait so which bolt tightens the belt? Or do neither? lol. How do you put tension on the pump?

...maybe I should go look first lol
