Group,

A chunk came off my fan belt and I'm trying to replace it. I'm having a lot of trouble getting the belt around the engine pulley.

The car has a 6 Volt Alternator and came with a belt # 42-6324. I do not know the brand.

The only way that I could remove the belt from the engine pulley was to put the part with the "chunk" removed around the engine pulley. That gave me enough clearance to remove the belt.

Is there a "skinny" belt that I should use ? The old one fit the pulleys nice and worked fine.

There seems to be little clearance under the engine pulley for a belt ?

Marc
