3416 Starter belt change tips?

[larry8200 1]

Finally have to change the starter/generator belt on my 3416. Pretty sure the original is still on it(wow). The driveshaft obviously has to be split, it looks like the 2 long bolts have spacers between the disk and crank. Can you take out 1 at a time, put thr belt halfway through, put the first bolt and spacer back, then do the second? I dont want to let the shaft flex anymore than necassary against the rear coupler.

It will be okay. Just unbolt it slide the belt in and bolt it back up. Don't worry, be happy.....:D8D:D

Well, that was so easy I didn't swear even once. I tend to turn the air blue while wrenching.
