I apologize in advance for my lack of mechanical know-how, but I am just trying to do as much maintenance as I can on my own... and todays task was to be a fanbelt change, which I thought would be a breeze...
Opened the hood, lifted the tension pulley off to take the pressure off the belt, and managed to get the belt off the fan, alternator, and idler pulley (?correct terminology?), but can not get it off the lower pulley. I thought there would be room to just slide it off the front face of the pulley, that is not the case. Does one need to disassemble the front of the machine to change a simple belt?
