Default Re: Cooling Questions

Of course, what they dont tell you is HOW to move the generator and fan hub upwards against the tension of the belts, and then to be able to tighten the nut and cap screws with your third hand, during the course of which you drop the spanner.......
After years of prying them up with a pry bar and messing up the brake vacuum tube, the ignition wire tube, and scraping the paint off the manifold, I finally figured to run a loop of rope around the generator and lift it with my engine hoist, leaving both hands free to tighten the nut. Ditto for the fan hub. Guess I'm a slow learner.....
