Okay folks,

Here we go. Using a laser level to align v-belt pulleys.


With more light.


I've found that I may need to shim the back of the A/C compressor bracket to get the shaft aligned a bit better. I know that there are better tools that are custom designed for the job, but this does better than the yardstick that I was using.

The pulleys (crank/compressor/idler) are actually all in the right places, but the compressor is about 1-1.5 degrees out of alignment.

It's a car not a science experiment! Open the throttle!
