I got the Dayco TopCog 13A1055. I'm guessing the size is 1055. I got it from Advance Autoparts for $15. I'm looking in the Bentley manual and it (as far as I know) doesn't show exactly how to replace this belt. Does it only go over the Alternater/fan pulley or are there others? How do I get it over the fan? Do I have to remove the fan to get it on? Do I need any special tools? I've only replaced one belt before and that was a simple, loosen tensioner/slip belt on, job on a 88 mustang. Can anyone point me in the direction for step by step to get it on? I can figure it out if someone tells me but I just don't know what to do with the fan. There's not as much room in the engine compartment as I'm use to with the mustangs puny 4 cyl engine
I only ran the car not knowing the belt was broken. I honestly don't know how the battery lasted without the alternator. My alt died in my mustang and the battery was drained in no time.
