Dennis,
What do you mean about the alternator swivel bolt being tightened after the
belt
tightening?  I assume you mean the bottom bolt?  I always tighten  that one
last...
have I been doing it wrong?  I just assumed once you tighten that one  it
would be
harder, if not impossible, to tighten the top one.  I'm having a hell  of a
time keeping
my alternator belt tight (it keeps working itself loose) and I will try
anything!  Please
elaborate.  tia,
jame benthall
