I just replaced the timing belt, tensioner, water pump, alternator bushings on my 1986 240 wagon. I started to replace the belts; alternator and power steering were easy, but it was a tight fit to get the A/C belt on. It is the correct one, Volvo brand bought from the dealer. I checked it against the old one.
My problem now is I can't figure out how to tighten the A/C compressor. Have new belt on, inside and outside bracket adjusting nuts loose, as are bottom rubber-bushed bolts and nuts. Compressor looks skewed toward the crankcase pulley. When I tightened the front adjustment bolt, the skew increased. I've tried to pry the rear of the compressor in and tighten the inside bracket nut (the hard-to-get-to one, needed a swivel socket and extension) to no avail. Shouldn't it align itself? I have the Haynes manual, no reference or suggestions.
Thanks!
