Try this:

Make the belt lose with unclamping the alternator.
Then jack up the engine a little (strong wooden board under the oil pan).
Then you can slip the thick belt through the gap between the crank extension
and he steering rack.

Betreff: [Fot] Early TR4 Street Car question

So I am doing some maintenance on the 47,000 mile unrestored '61 TR 4
I bought three years ago, and other than rebuilding brakes and
changing fluids, I have basically just driven - who says old Brit cars
aren't reliable?

Anyway, thought I'd change the ancient fan belt.  Does the fan
extension shaft, attached by those six or eight crusty little bolts to
the pulley, need to be removed in order to get the belt off?  The belt
doesn't squeeze between the fan extension shaft and the top of the
rack.  Seems like there is only about 3/8" clearance for a really
thick belt.

Any cheater tricks?
