I checked the site. I dont see how to fix the timing on the site. What section is it under?

Ok another question for you all. I just replaced the bracket and put everything back together. The problem is when the car is running it is a little rougher than usual. The biger problem is when I step on the gas the car doesn't go faster than like 2 miles per hour. It has no power, I couldn't even make it up the hill outside my house. What could I have done wrong?

Good tip. Upon comparison I noticed that there are two bolts that screw in sideways, down by the A/C pulley. I tried to losen those but cant get them to budge. Would I need an impact wrench for this. To do this I am following instructions on how to replace the timing belt. My belt is good and to early to replace. The questions I have is in the instructions it tells me to remove the crankshaft pulley. I dont want to do that unless I have to for the fan bracket. So to remove that will I need to remove the crankshaft pulley. It doesn't look like it overlaps with the bracket as much as I can tell. The damn bracket cost me $270 after taxes. But if I can finish this myslef I will be saving almost $600 in labor. Also is there any other maintenace I should do while I have my car half apart?

Anyone have good instructions on how to remove this. I have all the bolts removed, I think, but is is still in there rock solid.

My serpentine belt broke. I pulled everything off and the pulley that mounts onto the four bolts of the fan clutch bracket does not turn. First I assume that this is supposed to turn. Second how do I remove this. I have the fan and fan clutch removed.

I pulled the fan clutch off and pulled this pulley off the four bolts that hold it. But I am still not sure if it should spin. Does the mount spin, that actually pulley that is on the four bolts doesnt spin unless those four bolts and the mount spin , should that spin?

I am trying to replace the thermostat gasket because I have a leak there. My guestion is how do I get the thermostat out. I have everything removed but do I just pull the thermostat out, it is in there pretty tight.

That pulley is rock solid. I cant move it at all. SO I am guessing that yep that is what caused it to snap. Also I have been reading and should that fan spin freely or should the clutch stop it from spinning. My fan clutch might be bad to. How can I tell?

This is a picture of what I am talking about. This isnt a picture of mine, I found this one. But behind the washers that are being pointed out in this pick is were the belt wraps around what the fan clutch is mounted on. Should the spin or does the belt just wrap around this. http://www.lexls.com/images/fanconversion/fanconversion1.jpg

I am new to fixing cars and usually dont do it myself. My serpentime belt broke. I am replacing the tensino pulley because some of the belt melted to that pulley. As I was working I noticed that the pulley behind the fan, actually the fan clutch, doen't move at all. I can't spin it. I know the belt wraps around it but my question is should this spin ir is it just a quide?
