Default Re: Engine fan replacement 1930 Model A

Got the old fan off! That was tough. Got the new one on, but with the fan belt in the pulley I can’t line up the center of the pulley with the water pump shaft? Any way to loosen the belt?

You loosen the belt by loosening the bolt holding the generator and moving it. I and not sure what you mean by line up, any photos?

Back off the adjustment bolt on the generator position and tip the gen towards the engine block to loosen the belt. Also buy the water pump bolts from a Model A supplier that have fixed nuts. Whole bolts comes off block and helps remove pump assembly. SNYDER'S A-8501-mbm
