The first time is the hardest.


Yep. Once the belt is stretched it must get easier.
Funny thing is, though I rebuilt my '64 engine myself and could get
the thing out in about 10 minutes for a clutch change, I don't
remember anything about the generator.
Can't even remember ever changing the belt.
Forgetting that stuff used to bother me.
Doesn't now though. Forgot how to get bothered.

I actually meant that putting the screwdriver under a running belt would
scare the **** out of me, until I'd done it and seen the screw driver
wouldn't get thrown at me like a knife.
