In this tutorial, you will see how to replace the alternator belt in the Subaru Outback, a relatively simple and quick task if you have good manual skills. First, wait for the engine to be completely cold, then open the bonnet and remove the belt cover using both a 10mm and a 12mm socket.

Next, loosen the tensioner bolt just enough to reduce the tension, then unclip the belt from the pulleys and insert the replacement. Finally, reassemble everything by following the reverse procedure.
