Default Re: HELP. How do you adjust the V-belts on a 48 flathead?

Trying to only tighten the generator without roughly positioning the fan will typically result in a misaligned square spacer - blocking movement of the fan bracket. Short of having four untiring hands available, approaching this as a three step task gets it done: roughly position fan bracket with finger tight bolts, lever generator to desired position before tightening bolts, then final position and final tighten fan.
