Installation Guide
Refer to the factory service manual to remove the power steering belt, A/C belt and
factory alternator from the engine.

Remove the factory alternator adjuster bracket.
Removed:

Install the lower alternator bracket using the factory alternator bolt and nut.
Assemble the alternator adjuster bracket as shown below. The black adjust sleeve will
only work one way, slide it back and forth to ensure it moves easily. Use the M8 bolt
that is threaded along it’s entire length for the adjuster bolt.

Install the adjuster onto the factory alternator mount. Ensure that the split washer is
installed onto the M8 bolt followed by the flat washer as pictured below. The supplied
spacers are installed between the adjuster and factory alternator mount. Only hand
tighten the bolts.
NOTE: Only older kits use the spacers behind the adjuster, a revision was made and
newer kits no longer require the spacers, if the spacers are not included in your kit you
do not need them.

Before installing the pulley onto the alternator you must slide the supplied black
spacer onto the shaft to correctly align the belt.
Using the supplied M10x90mm bolt and M10 flat washer install the LS1 alternator
onto the lower mount. Once installed another M10 flat washer and M10 nyloc nut is
used to secure the bolt. Hand tighten only.
Rotate the alternator so the top alternator mounting point lines up with the adjust
bracket. Using the supplied M10x80mm bolt, washers and nyloc nut secure in place,
again hand tight only.

Install the new fan belt onto the engine/alternator.
Start screwing the adjuster bolt in to tighten the belt.

Once the desired tensioner is reached tighten the locking nut in place.
Tighten all the remaining bolts. And re-check the belt tension. Adjust again if
necessary.
Re-install the power steering, A/C belts and electrical connectors to the alternator.
And that’s it… You’re all done. Enjoy & and thank you for supporting TAARKS.
