That's right. I'm taking a test run, to the nail salon and see if these nails can be salvaged.

Good work, wrench lady!

One thing more, Janel, Make sure your belt is not TOO tight. Too tight belts have ruined many a new water pump and/or alternator.
 
I think it may be a bit loose Guinn, but it's not squealing.
 
Janel, I like about 3/4" deflection in my belts when I push down on them with my thumb.

I would like to see my belt, but my gut hangs over it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nopity.gif
 
I had a bit more than that but not an inch Tony. And I've been thinking way too much about this whole thing (like last night instead of sleeping) I looked at the exploded picture at Moss, I don't have a spacer like that. I have a flat washer with holes in it (hub?), about 1/8" thick, that came off FIRST, sat directly against the pump. Also, the pulley is 2 piece (according to moss, it looks to be 1 piece and turned the opposite direction of how it was on Emma)

So.

I disassembled again. Radiator's out on the floor (hoses came off a LOT easier this time), alt's loosened, fan & pulley is off. Something is bugging me, and I don't know what except that my assembly didn't look like Moss's.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonono.gif NOPE Kenny! it will be found some where in the manual that talks about the "nose" or the "motor horn".---Keoke- /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hammer.gif
 
Oh.. My bad... I was looking at an old National Geographic magazine. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif at the gut over the belt bit though. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
 
Ya'll stop poking at KLUTZ. None of that allowed unless you have a 33" waist.

Let's take up a collection and get him some suspenders. At least he will be able to see them!

And they'll take some of the strain off the belt too... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
 
do they make some kind of suspenders for a fan belt when you have it all the way to the end of the adjuster and it's still loose? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
 
That's what pantyhose are for: emergency fanbelt. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif

Rats! FOILED AGAIN! Just missed the mark by an inch... If it weren't for them mendlesome teenages; I'd have gotten away with it too!
 
Well, I sure can't poke at anybody else - lately when I sit down, my belt buckle disappears! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif I guess I officially suffer from Dunlop Syndrome' now ...
 
Yah Raymond, it Dunlopped over your belt...
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
 
It's the ONE age related curse I've not had to deal with.

I'm still able to continue my "see food" diet...

"Izzat food? Gimme it!" *CHOMP!* /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yesnod.gif

Maybe I should invest in some steel belts for my spare tire?

Well, I's gots a 38 waist - so's I can joke all I want to! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
