Serpentine belt change - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Just did my belt. Thanks Bob, the korean kids helped alot. Really skinny hands, or paint sticks worked great.
I used a Craftsman 1/2" rachet with a breaker bar handle and a broken neck. Worked great, I was able to rachet to just the right position and hook the handle around the horn. No romex required.
It was a tight fit under the air horn, but it fit.
Did the alternator pulley last. I had to pull on the belt and rotate to kind of walk it on, but it went.
All things considered, it took aboout 45 minutes, and I never threw a thing or swore once.

Thanks to all for the tips and heads up. -Steve
