2010 1200 GSA, I'm replacing the alternator belt but I don't have a socket big enough to get onto the nut on the crankshaft pulley to turn it. My largest socket is 32mm and is not big enought so what size spanner or socket do I need?

One that fits; dooh
I used a cranked spanner for a Ford Cologne V6 fan, iirc 36mm

Do you have the correct belt ?? 4PK592 ELAST <- This bit is most important
If your belt hasn;t got it STOP and send it back and contact local motor factors and get them to order you one
I'm pretty sure, it has two different sizes on the spanner. Unfortunately it doesn't have sizes marked on it.Thanks, I never thought of using one that fits I just thought I'd waste my time asking the question on here
So, are you confirming that it is 36mm?
I thought it was 34mm
I have both a 32 and a 36 and one was too big and one too small
there's a special tool to fit stretch belts, on the alternator belt it was much harder than I expected it to be, no point taking off a good but old belt and then ripping the new one forcing on with a socket and a screw driver.. without the tool you need someone to help
The Elast as you may have gathered means its a stretch belt
If it does not have ELAST on it the fucker will be a Kevlar reinforced nightmare
Should have the part number on the packaging
Doc, I have just checked and it has 4PK582 on it but not ELAST, why is it a nightmare?
