    What causes the alternator belt to keep breaking on a 92 honda civic?
    Please, help me! I keep replacing my alternator belt and for some reason it just keep on breaking. I replace the alternator and it's still breaking. Could it be the harmonic balancer pulley? Please, let me know if anyone ever had this type of problem before or know what is causing this problem. Thank You All from OBoBByJimmY.

    In situations like this, it's usually bearing seizure. If you installed a rebuilt alternator, the quality of the bearings may have been poor. I would rotate the alternator pulley and see if a bearing has seized. If this is not the situation, check pulley alignment and belt tension.
