I'm embarassed to say I can't get it out. I've pulled out two bolts, it's not even loose and now I'm lookin at the belt and I'm stuck. I was stupid and started this without a manual. I just need the basic steps. Thanks in advance.   Brian (Beat_disco) New Member Username: Beat_disco Post Number: 2 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 04:52 pm:    Nevermind everyone it was just pressed into place and so tight it wouldn't move till I took a hockey stick to it or in this case a Canadian pry bar (I'm originaly Canadian) I think I'll be getting good at this I'm gonna try a rebuilt Decker unit. thanks...   Robert Sublett (Rubisco98) Senior Member Username: Rubisco98 Post Number: 949 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Sunday, July 13, 2003 - 09:54 pm:    I went through 2 rebuilts within 2 months..

Go with a new unit and save yourself the headache   Peter Healey (Peterh) New Member Username: Peterh Post Number: 6 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Monday, July 14, 2003 - 11:04 am:    If you do the Mean Green, is it a pain to get a new serp belt that fits. I have read here that you need a longer belt to accomodate the larger wheel on the alt.   Greg French (Gregfrench) Senior Member Username: Gregfrench Post Number: 500 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 16, 2003 - 07:16 am:    Went through 5 rebuilds in 2 months! The last one caught on fire! Lickilly , I was able to put it out with minimal damage. Bought a new one, and 2 years later, still no problems.
