Hi all,
Well I have finally decided that the uneven wear that is chewing up one
alternator
belt after another is from my main flywheel not being in alignment.  I
recently replaced
the pulley on my alternator (nifty looking gold stainless steel one now ;-)
but the belts
are still wearing unevenly.  I believe that if I shim out the main flywheel
it will solve my
problem.  Question is how hard a job is this?  If I manage to get the nut
off, does anyone
know what diameter the shaft is and where I could find a shim of that size?
I'm thinking
I should start off with a very small shim, like 1/16" or 1/32".  And I think
I can borrow a
torque wrench from a local auto parts store to give the correct torque.
Thanks for any
advice on this matter.
