2415 length for short belt replacemnt - Never Again!! Posted by MI-Roger [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Three hours to get this belt installed. Two hours yesterday (which included reinstalling the engine yoke for overnight safety) and one hour this morning (which included engine yoke removal & installation and full cleanup of tools and me at completion) just to finish this task.
I pulled my favorite grease monkey away from her vacuum to pull and hold the tensioner today while I slid the belt on. I was able to complete every previous long belt change single-handed, and I can count 7 of them that I have done.
I knew this was not going to be fun when I saw the old Saab branded belt was a 6PK2425 and my new Gatorback was only a 2415 length. Goodyear makes a 6PK2425 so that will be what I purchase in the future. A few strings of old comments are posted here on this same topic, I sure wish I had found them prior to buying the belt.
