    hey Guys- recently acquired 72 skylark with 71 455 stage 1 non Ac. How to I get the belt off the alt and crank/fan? Loosen the alt?

    I figured out how to get the belt off the power steering pump and crank by loosening power steering pump.

    Sorry newbie question but I’m not as familiar with this car

    Just loosen the alt ,and push it forward that will give the belt slack.

    a little bit of soap of a bar of soap quietens noisy belts, sometimes. Been there; done that.
