Fan Belt R&R

[PodSquad48]

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! =)

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

Never new thats what the flat spot was for but haven't had a belt issue yet.
