PodSquad48 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Well, it seems the fan belt has got me! Went to replace it today and there isnt enough clearance between the balancer and the frame to remove it. I suppose I could jack the motor up, but am I missing something?! After almost 2 years of tinkering away, Im about ready to take the 48 coupe on its first voyage outside the neighborhood. I've replaced the entire brake and fuel system, amongst other things. Im laughing at myself for being stuck here! =) Edited March 27, 2010 by PodSquad48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 check the lower pulley assembly for a flat area and rotate the pulley to place this close to the frame you will now have enough room to remove the blet and slip on a new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
