My fan belt has always been pretty loose since I got my M but has been working fine. I took the hood off and noticed that the pulley flange that tightens the belt is broken. Nothing leaks, it runs cool and the fan turns.
I have everything loose to remove the radiator except one of the radiator frame studs. One was rusted away and broke in half. The other I will go at again with more appropriate tools.
It looks like if I take off the what the parts catalog calls the water pump driver and studs and the fan I can change the pulley flange without disturbing the packing.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks mm
