Re: Fan belt won't tighten

Not exactly (but it's as close I could find at Lowes); end result is that it threads all the way on the old one and only 1/2 way on the other :(

Re: Fan belt won't tighten

"And the survey says…": the replacement nut was not correctly threaded. I can thread a 1/2x20 bolt completely on the old nut, but only half way on the new. This explains how why I was full-tight on the nut but the washers still were loose. I actually have (2) new ones from SAV and both are...

Fan belt won't tighten
