Reply to "Replacing my fan belt"

Former Member

Went back at it today trying to learn how to change my fan belt. Before starting I thought I'd call CB Performance to hear what their suggetions would be since they built the engine, but I found out that the fan shroud and generator is not part of their responsiblity, so Greg at Vintage received my call. He said to just hang on to the fan blade with one hand and use the wrench to loosen the fan nut. I did use a sturdy glove to hold the blade, but was not able to budge the nut.
Went and got the spanner wrench Porsche tool made for just this job, but found the holes the pins are meant to go into not deep enough, or blocked by the other half of the pulley assembly to make use of the tool. What's next? Thanks for your time. Karl Dempwolf
