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! |

So if you don't want to buy a plaid factory tool kit remake, and don't want to fight over original tool kits with the concours mega-bucks crowd, but do want to build up a useful tool kit for your 914 six conversion...
Any leads on how to get the specialized tools—particularly for the fan belt? |

So if you don't want to buy a plaid factory tool kit remake, and don't want to fight over original tool kits with the concours mega-bucks crowd, but do want to build up a useful tool kit for your 914 six conversion... Any leads on how to get the specialized tools—particularly for the fan belt? Really only two tools (well maybe 3)? Stated tonque in cheek having clearly admitted I've never actually done this job in car and on a 914. 1) the fan pulley wrench https://www.pelicanparts.com/More_Info/PELT...AiABEgK55PD_BwE 2) What ever magic low profile tool you can find to turn the fan pulley nut that fits between the nut and the bulkhead. I'm thinking ratcheting gear wrench type tool. 3) Magic breaker bars to get more leverage on the other two tools since the nut will invariably be too Fuching tight to easily loosen while you're contorted into the engine bay! I supect I'd want one long enough to fit the pulley wrench but yet land on the side engine shelf/frame on the passenger side. The other to be short enough to still move it within the engine compartment and not be hitting the engine lid when I turn it. |
