Alternator not turning
Hello all, I just changed my alternator belt and now the alternator is not turning. The belt is turning but the "fins" (not correct term I know) on the front of the alternator isn't turning along with belt squealing and smoke from the alternator. The belt doesn't appear too tight. I had sprayed PB blaster on the bolts earlier. Possible this leaked into the unit causing problems? I had also been tapping on the alternator earlier to move it, Possible I damaged something inside keeping it from turning freely? Thanks,JEFF
