If this condition is encountered, inspect the bracketry installation. Vehicles equipped with air conditioning should have the flat washer under the adjustment bolt head removed (see illustration).
In addition, a new belt is being released for replacement. The new belt, P/N 10034798, will not be available for approximately sixty (60) days. Until this belt is available, P/N 10029075, which is the current Fiero belt, should be used.
