It turns out that by jacking up the engine just a little bit, enough
clearance is available to move the belt into/outof position. Much easier
than removing that darn coross member. Granted this is not convenient
while away from home but I think today's fan belts are probably pretty
sturdy so the chances of a new one breaking on the road are slim (? -
knocking on wood as I write this since I will not be adding the spare
belt)...

Subject: TR6 Fan Belt ?
I've seen one or two listers mention putting a standby fan belt
on the TR6
so that if the original breaks there's one ready to be used
(without having
to
wrestle with the cross member). How would one go about securing
said
second fan belt to ensure that it doesn't get in the way of the
first?
