cant fit auxiliary belt back on

[wavy]

how do i fit the auxiliary belt back on
when i was removing the pas pump i couldnt remove the belt so i took the pulley off so the bely come off
now iv replaced the pump i cant get the belt back on
is there a trick to doing this ?

also do i actualy bleed the pas or just fill it and keep turning lock 2 lock till no bubbles ?

You need to undo the ajuster pulley to get the belt on. If this is seized or broken you'll need to take the alternator off and file the top mounting hole into a slot so you can move the alternator in enough to get the belt on.

Thats weird it should go on with the alternator pushed right up to the block. Are you sure you've got the right belt?

Not sure how the tensioner works think you put an allen key in the centre and undo the bolts holding it on. The allen key centre on mine has rounded so i've never used it.
