I did a search but didn't find anything, so perhaps I'm typing in the wrong search ot something.

I want to change my SC belt, picked up a gatorback today. I thought, this is easy, grab teh torex socket, move the tensioner, pull the old belt, drop in the new belt, 5 mins, I'm done. WRONG There is a motor mount that goes threw the belt. Is there a trick I'm not seeing? What needs to be done to change belts? Thanks

The motor mount spacer needs to be moved out of the way enough to slide the old belt off and new one on.

I believe the "trick" is to jack up the car, pull off the passenger side tire, and the splash guard to gain access to the motor mount through the wheel well.

Then, you back out the bolt on the spacer enough to move the spacer so a gap appears big enough to slide the belts off and on.

Yep...that'* the trick..the spacer is a pain some times..but you'll get the hang of it.

Try this one on for size

Belt change

This how I did mine

I really needed those images, thank you so very much

I think y'all found an easier way than I did. I get an engine lift, drop the motor mount and pull of the PS pulley. From start to finish, it'* about a 4 hour job taking my time. Not something I'd wanna rush.

Just me, but while you in there, I would do both belts

Ok, that thread shoudl help a lot. Why can't this be easy? A 5 min. job becomes a pain in the butt.

That'* nothing. Wait until ya try to do a set of ported exhaust manifolds

I'm leaning more towards headers, but that will be a while.

Danthurs, did you wnat more pics?
