I would like to replace the drive belts on my '93 240. But when I attempt to remove the 4 bolts securing the fan the fan rotates. The original belts are still on the car and I don't think that those bolts have ever been removed, so they're on ther pretty tight. What's the trick to locking the fan in place while I'm removing the bolts.
thanks, Jonathan
Tighten up the alternator belts so they grip the pully and keep the fan from rotating.
When the fan pully roatates the belts turn as well, which moves the entire system.
Oh, well in that case put a wrench on the crank pully to hold that still, I'm surprised those nuts are so tight.
