Title: Bolt for A/C Compressor Fan Belt
Post by: Lance Camper on April 04, 2018, 11:41:28 am
Would anyone know what size bolt I need for the Dash Air Conditioner fan belt tightener See photo.
I thought I needed to loosen it to remove fan belt. (I didn't) and it must fallen out. Sitting in FOT campground, they can't help. I'm off to NAPA, (not the wine country) I'm in the middle of replacing clutch.

Thanks in advance
Ed

Try showing the picture to the Napa guy,looks like a 7/16 or 3/8 bolt,use some loctite when putting back on.

Make sure the bolt did not break off, rather than fall off...

No reason to go to NAPA when Lowe's has all the bolts you would need.  Figure length by pushing a small diameter anything into hole.  Put lock washer on bolt.

Ed, it looks like the 2 bolts above the hole appear to be the same diameter which would follow rather than multiple sizes on the same installation.......pull the one on the right and off you go.  ^.^d

Gotta give a shout out to FASTENAL in Nacogdoches on the loop. Tossed me a bolt no charge.
Mick you were right, after I pulled the tensioner the other bolt fit. Took everything to Fastenal.
Barry it was me, dumb ass. I loosened it thinking it needed to be loosened and didn't retightened.

Thanks All
Ed
