Air Con Drive Belt

[Tony Kingston]

Hi All

Just tried fitting a new air con belt supplied by a company in Exeter and it is too short to fit even with the tensioning pulley at its lowest point. The part they supplied was a Gates 6477mc. Does anyone know of either the correct part number or a suitable alternative please.

Cheers

Tony

They are always tight, you need to take tensioner pulley right off, fit it to belt then slide the tensioner over it's bolt.

A 4 runner is the same.

Thanks guys.

Where would you say that the tensioner should sit in its slot about a quarter or halfway up. I ask this because I suspect the bolt is not the original and would only allow the pulley to get 2/3 of the way down to the bottom of its slot? If its lower than that it look like I'll have to source a new bolt!

Cheers
