Mike,

You have to remove the blower to get the belt off/on the smooth Ford idler!!:argue:

It's also a good idea to examine the back of the mounting plate for crud and oil leakage from the input shaft seal!!:rolleyes:

While you are at it check the smooth idler for wear and bearing slop.....Zack says these idlers have shortened life under "Blower Stress"???:confused: I replace mine every belt change since it's only about $15.00 or so.......:help:

Hope you are going to use a GatorBack belt....you'll be surprised!!:beer:

Good Luck!!

Do you have a part# for the belt?

I had that same kind of "fun" changing NAVCHAP's belt with the Vortech a few times.

It's not that hard and the blower is three bolts. 2 on the passenger side and one idle pully on the driver side. To be honest I had to take a bunch of things off to make the job easier. Things like the intake, anti-freeze hose and a few others. It's very simple and quick, but it may seem like a lotta work at first. Good luck! ;)
