If you don't have 6, you should. If you have all 6, play around with the sequence until your fan belt has the proper tension. This may solve your problem.

Right now the belt is tensioned about right, but I noticed that it will clunk if I push and pull (in and out) on the pulley so I'll bet that when I take it apart tomorrow I'll find less than the right number of washers. Maybe the PO left one out. At least I hope it's that simple. Thanks for your interest.
