removal of alternator '94 Jeep Cherokee Sport
Hi There,
I'm posting this for my husband. He's not the type to ask for directions and is having a hard time removing the alternator on his '94 Jeep Cherokee Sport. Basic model - no a/c, pw or pl. I saw on an earlier post the following... Alternators generally aren't hard at all to change, usually a 3/8" of 1/2" Breaker Bar to release tension on the Tensioner pulley to remove the Serpentine Belt, a couple of Bolts, and a Plug, and ground Wire, and that's it. I know that his problem is with the belt. He's removed the alternator on my Honda but he said that there was a release for my belt. Would the info above (3/8" of 1/2" breaker bar) apply to his Jeep? I'm sure he's going to let a professional install the alternator - I think he just wants to remove it himself. Thanks in advance for any help. LT |

removal of alternator '94 Jeep Cherokee Sport
I haven't tried it on the 97, but on all the other Jeep engines I work
on, if I am changing 'only' the alternator or waterpump and the belt is in good shape to re-use, I leave the freakin belts alone. It was adjusted right before I started so it goes back to the same adjustment when I am finished. There should be an emissions sticker under the hood that also has the belt routing and adjustment point on a diagram. I know how on the older Cherokee's, which is to loosen a bolt near the top and then the locknut on the slot at the bottom of the power steering pump. On the back side of the PS pump there is a square hole that fits the socket wrench or breaker bar.
