as i pulled in to my garage yesterday, i heard squeaking sound coming from my engine. so with the engine running, i opened the hood. i examined where the sound was coming from and it was from the alternator pulley. so i got my WD-40 and sprayed some there and the sound went away.
my question is, should i have that examined by a professional or you think its okay?
if its the alternator bearings, he is f'ed... what he can do is remove the belt, then spin the alternator with his fingers, if it spins smoothly, he is good... just change the belt..
i think it is the belt. cause yesterday when i got the WD-40, i couldn't find the straw that comes with it. so i didn't spray inside the pulley. i just sprayed around that area and the sound went away.
yea, i know those accords are sleepers... i just like my power down low off the line..
ive been good buddy, i see your like tripple platinum, almost diamond...
go to autozone, or advance, even nappa... you want a good v-rib belt! it should have alot of small grooves, to provide more protection against slippage... get the highest priced one, or 2nd highest... a Dayco belt should do the job...
also since depending on how your car is set up you might have to take the other belt off thats for i think power steering and water pump to get to the alt. belt so if you have to do that just change them both. i dont remember what year you have. but dont over tighten them because you will f u c k your bearings and stuff up.
mat the belt comes off easily. i don't need to take anything out to get to the belt. also it has a auto tensioner so i think i am okay as long as i get the same size.
just be prepared to change it about 2 times a year or so...
