Hi Listers, I daw upon your wisdom to help me with what should be simple
but....
I can't remove the fan belt on my TR6 - i followed some old postings about
removing the tubular cross-member but now the belt can't clear the steering
rack! There just isn't enough clearance between the crankshaft pulley and the
steering rack. I tried prying the engine back to remove slop in he motot
mounts but I didn't move. Is this a standard thing? Do I haveto remove the
steering rack to chnage the fan belt? Say it isn't so!
Has anyone had this problem before? Shoul I try to lift the engine? I don't
think I should put a lot of force on teh rack to try to get the belet through
the space between it and the pulley.
This is a 76 TR6 so it has 1/2" fan belt. The mechanical fan has been removed
and electric fan installed.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
