Shade tree mechanic near Scarborough, ON?

[ProfessorX5]

I'm looking to DIY the belts and tensioners, but given that I once managed to set a car on fire while working on it, I'm trying to find someone who might walk me through the job, and make sure I don't $%#@ up my X.

I'm willing to pay. I was going to get my cousin to do it, but after finding out he charged me a $250 markup on $100 of parts, the trust just isn't there :P

Great vid. I may just DIY this... Is the fan clutch removal toolkit really necessary?

[upallnight]

I used the tool when I replace the OFHG but some people were able to remove the fan clutch with out the special tool.

You can just use a long screw driver to prevent the water pump pulley from turning when you use the 34mm wrench to remove the fan clutch. Remember that the fan clutch uses Left hand threads so it righty loosey lefty tighty. Be careful when you thread the fan clutch back on so you don't cross thread the threads.
