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 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.
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

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.

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!

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
