Changing a fan belt on my 2 N should be easy but my crankshaft ratchet is to close to the front motor support to allow a new fan belt to be installed over the crankshaft ratchet.
The lower bolts on the front motor support to engine are longer than the top bolts. This leads me to believe the motor can be slightly separated from the front support enough to allow the fan belt to travel in front of the ratchet. I only need about 6mm of additional clearance.
Anyone have any tips on how to do this or am I looking in the wrong direction? The crankshaft ratchet won't come off easily. Hood and radiator are already off.
It has to be able to be done in a field.
