I think Craig McVeay has a belt tool, he moved on to the Jeep club but I'm sure he'd let you use it. Do you know him? (Cmcveay) Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

Lt. Dan Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Posted February 4, 2015 And... Done!!! Alternator went south so quick that when I pulled it in to start working on it, the unit was smoking!!! I took my time, and just followed along with "Mod Mini"s Youtube Episode- HUGE HELP: Putting the car in "service mode" wasn't hard at all- just had to deal with some hardware that was old and corroded... going back together was much quicker than teardown. All done, buttoned up, and a quick charging system check- ALL SYSTEMS GO!!!
