It does allow the belt to work a bit in the belt groove without the noise. But it will cut down the belt screech sufficienctly to determine if the pump is dying. It could be simply that a new belt is needed, or on the other hand - a pump replacement is required.. Hard to tell the difference with all that racket. Get rid of the belt noise, and you can distinguish which is which. John Rodgers 88 GL Driver |
