transit belts

[dr_jekyll]

hello all.

 

i have just baught a 2000 2.0 transit . i dont know a great deal about the vans as i have never worked on comercial vehichles.

 

while looking over the van i noticed the power steering belt and altinator belt are a bit "tired" and could do with changing.

 

could anybody give me a likg to a guide on how to do these jobs or give me any tips.

 

the altinator belt has me a bit stumped as it has no tensioner to slak it off and it real tight .

 

all help will be apriciated.

Are they not self tensioning. IE 15/13mm bolt and you pull the tension off/remove the belt and then do the same to replace the new belt. there will be a tensioner trust me..
