A question on changing the fan belt. How do you stop the generator pulley from turning? I have actually managed to stop it,and already changed the belt, but am curious how to how others do it? In the book i have, it says to put a screwdriver in the notch cut-out in the back pulley half, and lock it it the notch on the generator housing........well i do have the notch in the pulley, but there certainly aint no notch in the generator housing! I jammed a screwdriver in the back pulley, and held it as best i could while undoing the pulley nut, and managed to get it. How do you guys manage to hold the pulley?

Hi

there are 2 long bolts that run the lenght of the generator, you need to sprag the screwdriver head against one of these and the pulley notch.


Its also very important to have enought shims so that the nut can tighten without the washer behind it bottoming out.
