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! |

I will NOT cut a hole in something called a "FIREWALL"
That being said, Clewett engineering makes a serpentine belt kit for the 911 engines. It is a bolt on, and all you need to replace a belt is a 3/8 inch breaker bar. Just pull back the tensioner, and install the belt. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.clewett.com-1143-1603405557.1.JPG) On the factory six, I have the special wrench it takes to replace the belt. It can be done in the car, but it takes patience. I change the belt every time I pull the engine, no exceptions. And I do that to adjust the valves. Honestly, if I have to put a belt on in the field, I will just roll it on over the pulley. It will work until I can get the car home. |
