Fluid damper

Can fan belt be replaced without removing damper. I know instructions said to put belt on before damper but haven't changed belt since then.

some brand belts are thicker than others, there is only about a 50-50 chance you can force it on

Thank you. Finally a direct answer to the question. I though there should be more than one person that changed belt after install but you couldn't tell from this thread could you.
