My rats nest removal is pissing me off.
Okay, I'm a noob when it comes to mechanics, so be patient with me. Whenever I try to unbolt the fan bolts, that big thingamabob spins with the fan mount. My question is how do I make it stay in place?

use a channel lock, or regular plyers to hold the pulley so it wont turn.. i usally grab the belts real tight and hold them, the 10mm bolts cant be that tight, lol
|
are you installing the yoohoo belt? if not you can skip that and move on to the other stuff. thats what i did, i might add the yoohoo soon though. belt slippage at high rpm is pretty annoying.
|
pull away from the center, not sideways, so it wont turn.
|
Use 2 10mm wrenches or a large screwdriver and 10mm wrench
1 wrench wedge on the housing while the loosening the bolt with the other wrench. noob :rlaugh: :rlaugh: |
Impact gun with a swivel, off like butter.
|
I used two 10mm wrenches. Once you break them loose it's pretty easy to get em off after that.
|
The trick is not to pull down on the wrench, but to (using your hand or a hammer) bang on the wrench to have that same effect as the impact gun. Never failed me and I don't even use a rag or anything to hold the pulleys down.
|
I use the dual wrench method. Works every time.
|
^^^second that
|
But only 1 wrench is needed, thats putting one too many hard working wrenches to use, when they could be resting in their box. ;)
|
I used the pull on the belt method with a quick/sudden jerk down on the wrench. Its kind of like having an impact wrench but not really. Works everytime for me...
|
I guess I kind of do a combination of a quick jerk while holding both wrenches, or something. Works every time.

It's all in the wrist action :ylsuper:
