Serpentine belt change - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

efnfast · 01-27-2013

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

Belt part nos from different manufs
Dayco 5060805 (gator)
Gates 6K805 (gator)
Gates 6K802 stock
Goodyear 805K6 (gator) and 4060805
Delco 6K802 stock
Cadna 805K6 gator

The prices vary from $12 to $45 for the same belts.

Tell them it is for a Corvette you win and pay $45 or more depending on the bag they put it in.

I told the counter guy it was for a lawn tactor and the partsguy gave me 4 Gator 6K805s tossed in a old box for $10.00 including the sales tax..

Anyone interested in the buna and different level viton oring part numbers (not the Gm Numbers) for the fuel lines and the injectors?
