So
i need to find a source for freeze 12
You may bet by with a description -- it goes outside everthing, around
the crank (ribbed side in, with the loop going up between the crank
and the AC pulley to the tensioner.
You will probably have to push the tensioner loose to get the belt on
-- the shock tends to extend it to full travel
Yes, tensioner is ok. Idlers are ok. Belt is new. the old one will make a
good spare. NO cracks showing.
Thanks for the routing. I will go try that. I thought i remembered how it
went, but I didn't get it right. I think I am getting it confused with the
OM 603 routing.
I have found

Thank you Herr Doktor and Herr Frederick. It seems the assembly went
faster than the disassembly. I got everything back together in maybe 2.5
hours total, not counting the time to try to figure out the belt
routing. But thanks to quick responses I got it all together tonight

PS: If you have the wobble extensions, I think one or 2 of them would
work in place of the universal joint. I briefly considered going to buy
wobble extensions or taking a grinder to one of my extensions to make a
wobble extension before the tape solution occurred to me. I never have
used

Those are some of the ones he wins.

Gosh, I don't remember too much trouble there. Remember the old
mechanic's trick of putting a bit of paper over the head of the screw
(or over the hex driver) so that it sticks the screw onto the tool.
Makes it a bit easier to get a bolt to rotate in a hole.
I did the whole job in one shot,

H. THat is why i started this. Coolant dribble from front of engine,
unidentified, coupled with a chirp noise. We thought it was probably the

M103. Now that i got the pump off, a cursory inspection looks like it is
I think peter's 6 hours is closer, but I am being overly cautious I
know. If I could pay someone for 2 hours and get it done, I WOULD! (next
time) ; )

The whole point of the book time is that you win some and you
lose some. A really good mechanic wins more than he loses, and
can start making good money,
6 hours, almost to the minute.
You must remove the bracket for the PS pump, but need to remove the
pump, just loosen it. You don't need to touch the AC bracket or pump.
You also do not need to remove the screw that holds the heater pipe, it
has a slot. A real bear to get back if if you do
Danke, Herr Frederick
I was guessing it would be a long job because when i was working on the
Tandem PS pump i didn't see a way to get the bracket off without first
taking the pump out first. Just taking out the tandem pump I thought was a
bear. (compared to OM 621/616 engines)
That is the
OK, I should have printed the pages first. there are small print
prerequisites on the top of the page that i missed on the screen. It says
to remove the tensioner and the waterpump and the air cleaner. It does not
say however if the PS pump bracket stays in place or if you remove the pump
