Stop that annoying belt squeal with this new idler puller and longer belt kit for the 2.8 liter V-6 Fiero!
This simple to bolt on and install idler pulley provides about a 75% increase in surface contact with the alternator pulley thus eliminating belt squeal. It also greatly increases the contact surface on the drive (crank) pulley. Easy to install in the car. Fits all V-6 Fieros. With or with out A/C. Just remove the two bolts, install the idler pulley assembly, reinstall and tighten the two original bolts. Install the new longer belt, tighten and you are done. No need to over tighten the belt now to stop that annoying squeal common on most all Fiero 2.8 liter V-6 engines. Carry your old belt for emergencies as the pulley will not be in the way if you need to reuse the original belt in an emergency.This idea of using an idler pulley and a longer belt was first thought of by John Allen of Shelburne, MA. He used a different mounting method than my kit but he gets the credit for coming up with an innovative solution to this common problem on the V-6 Fiero.
Using this kit will eliminate the need to over tighten the alternator thus greatly reducing the wear on the alternator and water pump and increasing their service life. Also eliminated is the need to over tighten the bolt for the alternator adjustments which leads to the failure of the aluminum alternator bracket.
You may also want to consider the reinforcement plate for the alternator bracket. This bracket greatly reduces the pressure on the factory alternator bracket and in some cases can be used to hold a slightly broken alternator bracket together.
NOTE: I now have them to fit engines with the Crank Power Pulleys.
