So i've pulled the old alternator, installed the new one, but I can't seem to remember where the assorted brackets go.

From what I understand this is the idler pulley:


This is the serpentine belt tensioner:


Now this triangular piece is what's tripping me up:




Pulley and bracket placed but not bolted to the car(w/o triangular piece):


Power Steering pump bracket(I have an idea where that goes:


I've searched and read writeups but am getting frustrated. Any and all help will be needed and appreciated.

 

I'll go look.

 

Not sure how much help this will be but here are a few pics.







Couldn't really see much.

 

Thank you sir! I got a tip from a member on volvospeed.

Car is back together now.

 

Awesome! How much stuff did you have to remove to get to it? Looks like a pain...

 

About 16 bolts not including undoing the fuel line above the fuel rail, removing the thermostat housing, taking off theupper radiator hose, AND chopping up the ecu box a little..

Took me longer than expected AND my body is now beat...reminds me of my days as a mechanic.

The worst part of this is the power steering pump bolts, two out of three are dirty ****** that don't want to find the hole in the bracket.

 

Sorry I wasn't faster but it will help the next guy who ends up here.

One guys comment on the above procedure:

Theres a big shortcut on how to do this in the Chilton book on page 2-11 in the 1990-1998 repair manual check it out if you have one. You have a good right up but you did not have to do alot of that stuff.
The power steering pump comes out attached to the tensioner bracket.
