I'm having trouble removing the fan belt on my Volkswagen. It's a 77' so if anyone can tell me the bolt size for this alternator that would be just fantastic. The size would be in metric right? instead of the crescent wrench I can try to attack it with a long wrench of the right size, one end box the other with the opening. The bolt is so tight that not even with a little lube and hitting the wrench with a hammer did any good. All it did was bend the pully notch where you stick the screwdriver in to keep it from moving. Don't know if that is a very bad thing. One other thing. The preheater hose that goes to the air filter. Should it be of a larger diameter of the other two? The end of the usual hose does not fit over the opening unless you cut it on both sides so it can expand. I don't like the idea of having to cut a new hose because it wouldn't last very long. The cut would travel the length of the tube over time. I noticed this as I had to replace the other hose that runs from the cooling shroud to the heater boxes because the other one has gotten old and rotten and ruptured over time.

I thought I had it bookmarked, alas no, and I can'tfind it with my favourite search engine. I'll try to remeber to check at home tonight for the copy that I printed out to check for the URL and post it. As I remember, there is a funny key thing (that has disappeared from almost all Westys) that fits into the slots in the burner so you can unscrew and remove that and get underneath.
