Hello all, can you please help. I don't want to cut an access hole or drop the engine... But can you tell me how to access the pulley and remove the nut to change the fan belt? I've tried everything and would need four triple jointed arms it seems.
Also, how do you find TDC easily so I can adjust the valves? Thank you in advance. Ben |

There's an easy 3 step procedure to change the fanbelt on a -6 that doesn't require an access hole in the firewall. I found this out after 35 years of ownership!
1. Remove engine from car 2. Change fanbelt 3. Replace engine into car Seriously, it can be done, but it is mostly by feel. You do need the tool to be able to hold the fan in position while tighening the fan nut. The timing marks are best observed at the flywheel, but as previously mentioned, the markings imprinted on the later flywheels are not correct for our application (dependind on which engine is being used). It's best to check the position on the crank pulley and mark the TDC and 35 degree spots on the flywheel when the engine is out so you can easily access them in the future. |
