Cooling Fan Bracket

Just got finished, much easier with radiator and shroud removed. A lot more room to work. Turns out my AC Compressor was also part of the problem. So off with the belt for now. Rest of the job took about 4-5hrs from start to finish. One quick note, does anyone have trouble with the alternator adjustment bolt, mine is seized again. This will be the 3rd one I’ve bought and all were from dealer, any thoughts? To me it’s a simple design but crappy metal bolts I guess too.

 

THANK YOU, jeff i guess we do learn something new everyday, iam mora of a 2.4l type

 

did this not seize and rip through your whole engine compartment tearing things up?
i heard it has happened to others

was there a noise before it went so you know what was happening

 

Ya sounds like a cross between no power steering fluid in power steering pump and a jet plane. Did quiet down once u start moving but was loud very loud at idle. I only went 2 days once I heard it

 

I know this is an old thread but whoa is the actual torque for the fan bracket bolts?

 

Is it not spec'd in the diagrams in the FSM?
