Quick way to remove fan belt nut!

After checking points gap leave the socket wrench on the fan belt nut and go crank the engine.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

Thats makes two of us! I had left a breaker bar on mine and it hid the body of the car, luckily only making a tiny paint chip!

I sort of saw that one coming... (but secretly wished I didn't)..
I hope you got it all back together happily.
That must have been a big sound! ouch.

the sad thing is i heard the rap of the handle hitting the sheet metal and i thought "not a good sound" but did not connect it with the ratchet. took a second to click.

fortunately i recently purchased the fan belt tool and got it tightened back up nicely!

That is how you loosen Chevy Crank bolts, but that is because you have a nice big froma member for a brace... no brace in a P-car!

Ouch! Paint ok?
