Belt replacement??

Has anyone changed the belt without removing the fan shroud? It seems like you would'nt be able to route the belt with it installed....

its a PITA

to change out the belt, took me a good hour or so, but you dont have to remove the shroud, and you dont have to remove anything. Look at the pattern closely, you can look it AROUND the fan, it does not go over...

study a diagram well, and you will see what i mean... have a helper and save yourself some headache...
