If I need to adjust (or even replace) a fan belt on the 3.2L is in the car is there enough access to do that if the firewall sound deadening has been removed?
Fiddly at best would be my guess... Thanks! |

Someone had put a torch to a flat wrench and put some bends in it to access the nut. Looked pretty slick. I’ll try to find a pic.
Found it I was thinking that one easy alternative to a hatch would be a 1-1.5” hole in front of the fan pulley nut. Just large enough to stick a socket or impact gun to the nut. You would still have to work all the parts on and off through the engine bay but it’s really loosening and tightening that nut that causes issues. Disclaimer - I’ve never fixed one on the road so no real experience. Attached image(s) |
