Hey Guys.
I'm helping my buddy on his e 30 project. I removed his a/c belt and power steering belt to replace his alternator. I put the alternator in. Alt belt Powersteerig belt.
Now I'm at the point to reinstall the a/c compressor back on and I can't get it on properly. It was a struggle to take the belt off with all the bolts removed. If I install the belt then try to attach the bolts it cocks the compressor to an angle and does not allow the top bolt to slide all the way through.
If I attach the compressor on first then try to install the belt it's not long enough to reach over the pulley.
Any ideas? It almost seems like if I bought a little bit longer of a belt and tried that approach it would possibly work.
