This is a reply to that of TheMan from yesterday ... wasn"t sure if you"d be able to dig that far down in the forum so I posted upfront.
Anyone who wants to should address this issue about fan/hub removal.
I"m confused. I did get that pin from the pump drive out today and was able to remove the fan and pump drive. The fan is screwed to what looks like a threaded hub with some sort of large nipple on it. Behind that is another hub with a big set screw. Behind this is the pump belt and then the generator belt. Are you saying that the first hub (with the nipple) will screw off? And then the channel within which the pump belt sits is actually formed by two hubs - one forward (that I"m to remove) and one back which is pressed into the first? Boy! So remove the hub into which the fan was bolted (I do this by screwing it off). And tell me again ... what? Sorry to be stupid about this. I need help - I don"t want to bust anything up beyond repair - but do want to get the cracked hub off. Again .. the cracked part is just behind the hub that had the fan on it.
