Went out to change the pulley today .Just as I thought....it will not come off with out some more room .Blower must be losened up to get enough room .Which way is the easiest ? The four bolts that hold it on the bracket ? They look very hard to get to . Can any one help ?

 

Are you talking about the cog pulley behind the bracket or are you talking about the jackshaft pulley in front?

The cog pulley requires removing one of the serpentine belt pulleys (so that you can reach the bracket bolts) and loosening the bracket so you can pull it out just enough to fit the new cog pulley behind there.

Not the cog pulley...the serp pulley [jackshaft] ...I got it off ...Like you said I had to losen the top 3 bolts on the bracket and pry it over ....gave me just enough room to get it off . I bought a 92.6 inch serp pulley hoping I could get it on with the smaller pulley....nope....gonna try a 93....93.5 is what came with the kit . Im leary about doing something Im not sure how to do it right...thats why the post.....Thx....Zimbo

 

how goes it, boog??

im not sure how you got your hockey puck b-4 i did, but oh well.... guess mine's due in tomorrow then!! (hoping)

i dont know what belts i have (bought a backup of each, for emergencies or loaner to another in need)...

what's the p/n on your 93.5" one??

thanks

ps- fuji will be here thurs!! (cats here already)!!

 

booger.... you jacked up the car and climbed under and fully loosened the tensioner bolt before trying to put on the smaller belt, right?

--Steve

 

actually I can get my arm down the front and get it loosened with out taking the pan off or jacking the car up . Tight but ..I can feel my way around. I ordered my pulley from Vortech , so I got it in 4 days . Esemes...did you order from Grubb's ? My 93.5 belt was adjusted just about all the way . Going with the smaller pulley I thought I would try the shorter belt . Im getting a 93 inch one today and I'll post the part number if it fits .Im getting a Gates belt...they seems a little stiffer than the Goodyear . The part # on the 93.5 is....4060935....6pk2375...GoodYear

where to get this belt??

i wanna do the same, as i feel the 93.5 is too big also........


can i get it from the local Autozone store?? (maybe , if you find a 93, i can paypal you to get me one too??)

keep me posted!

ps- notice how noisey the jackshaft get when the serp. belt is loose (sounds like a diesel at 1700rpm!!)

 

I got about 1,500 miles on it and have adjusted 3 times . I got the shorter one from O'Reilly's Auto Parts .So if Gates makes a 93 inch and it fits...I'll let you know..If you cant find one ....I;ll be a middle man for ya......Pm you or post around 5 pm

thnx... i dropped mine off at the dealer today, to review a list of warranty stuff, and begin on the new perfor,mance goodies too..... i'll see how much slack they can pull out of the belt (but am sure the smaller pulley will make it obsolete)

 

You're saying that you can get to the tensioner bolt (the one that is underneath the idler pulley and is pointing straight upward) from the front of the car?? Houdini's got nothing on you, dude.

That is what I was thinking when I read that. I would love to find out why they put the adjustment under the pulley.

 

OK...Pulley is on and was able to get a 93 inch belt on .Its a Gates belt...PN# K060930 6PK2364 The Gates belt is a little thicker and should out last the Goodyear that comes with the kit .Im sure hope I dont have to adjust as much with the heavier belt .Took it out for a spin....WAHOOOO....can really tell its pushing more air .I didnt go WOT [I'll wait till I get a retune ] but I did get into it just a little bit . The whine is louder and the whooosh is louder when you let off the gas. Bad news is that tuner is booked till the 9th of July .

 

Does the 93" belt fit the stock vortech jackshaft pulley? My belt is way too loose right now with the tensioner tightened all the way. Should I get the 93". Hey Zimbo, i remember you telling me that our kits had a longer belt then normal, does that mean our kits came with a 94" belt?

 

Our kits came with Goodyear 4060935 belts (meaning 93.5"). You definitely need the 93" belt, Jimmy. To me, the fact that the belt is too loose is a warranty issue so you should call them to see if they'll send you a free replacement. That's what I did.

A slightly thicker belt is a good idea--but on my kit at least there's not a lot of room between the jackpulley and the blower.

MY local NAPA store has the gates belt for 37.99

i will get it today, in anticipation of the new puck..... (bet it would fit the oem puck too)
