What's the easiest way to put a belt on a gtr?

oh boy,,,better brace yourself on this one.

Pull off the lower unit.

Ok is there a seal on the lower unit?

A rubber o ring. clean it and if you want you can lube it with a Light oil or grease... Dont have to but its extra insurance.

With a box end wrench it's s 10 minute job with a ratchet wrench 5 minute. Power toll 2 minute lol

I think you should make a video Terry.

I call BS on 2 minutes by the way!

You can prove me wrong though, and it will only take 2 minutes. I'd say it's worth it. lol

I seen Hoyt walk up to peacocks motor at SETX a few years ago and pull it off in less than a minute!! With a ratchet wrench!

Why'd he pull it off?

was his old motr IIRC. Really a belt swap is pull the LU and brake caliper.. Plus if you never took off the LU Salt corrosion fills the threads and holes... Had to beat mine off when I changed my bearings.

I mean it don't take long. But a question I have some grease in the belt housing. This ok?

Old grease? New grease?

Seal could need changing.

Little of both. Just pump some threw without takin drain screw out came out the back right before the gear

Need a new seal and wear sleeves!

BTW take the screw out Dude. If you pump grease without taking it out you will push greas out past your seals..... COmmon sense will tell you that. the seal can only hold SO much pressure then it will deform and grease will escape.

That how it supposed to be !! They put the seals backwards so as you did you pumped grease with out taking the screw out you won't blow the seal!! Take the screw out !!

He is talkin bout the seal by the pulley. that one isnt like the ones by the prop

Grease was already comin out since it was already in the belt housing. Was trying to figure out wher it was comin out. Well it popped out the back. Seems to be comin out a tiny hole

Btw I always take it out. First time I didn't

Ship me your LU and I'll change it for 100 cash!!!!

Haha don't have that kinda cash. But I'm sure I can do it. But now I have to pull off the pulley?

Yeah you have to pull the taper lock bushing off the shaft. Take out the bolt and washer in the middle, Take out the 2 allen screws that hold the pulle to the taper lock bushing. Then take one of them screws and put it in the third Empty slot and tighten it, It will push the pulley off then you can tap off the bushing. Replace seal and wear sleeve. Get some good snap ring pliers cause that snap ring that holds the seal from popping out is a BEAST.

Thanks 08 210

Damn right on that snap ring

Ok got everything back together slinging grease out near the prop.i guess I need a new seal there how do u get to this one?

read my post

ugh damn this doesnt sound fun

Not bad. Maks sure you just dont have too much grease ... Run it and see if it stops. the seals are installed so if you pump too much it will let excess grease out.

No I found the old seal is dry rioted. When u were talkin about the threads are u saying that there backwards like its not righty loosey lefty tighty?

Si señor

Left hand threads... Left to tighten, right to loosen.
