Drive Belt help was created by Jim Jimny
Hi Guys
I'm after a bit of help, I have a 54 plate Jimny Mode, I've had it a few months, got a bit of time off so giving it a good service and going over.
The fan belt has been squealing so I thought I would replace it, putting a new rad in to.
I got from the big motor parts store beginning with H and ends in Ford what I thought was the correct belt only to find I have 2, stupid mistake I know.
The belt I have bought is a 4 PK 850.
The one I have taken off the alternator side is a 4 PK 835.
The other one has no markings left on it.

Can the one I've got be used for either side ?
If not what do I need?

What is the specific jimny you have? Mode is just a marketing name

What engine? Aircon?

i did mine last year, i got the belts from npa, mine was squealing , i fitted them leaving the radiator in just took out the top
two 10mm bolts to give the radiator some movement and space to work. but you are taking yours out so wont be an issue.
a day or two before i sprayed the bolt under the alternator with wd, then used a pipe over the ratchet to give leverage. i also used a pipe over the 10mm allen key to give the belt tension a jammed it in place so i could tighten it. tighten it so you can
just turn the belt through 90 degrees, with finger and thumb. ive tried to attach some pics hopes this helps, i took them for this very question!! the belts were both fine when fitted.

It should be an 835 on the alternator and an 850 on the power steering.

If you remove the fan and either remover the radiator or just move it by removing the bolts then it is straight forward fit.

You will need a hex socket / Allan key to loosen the lower alternator bolt.
