[kidtaurus]

I need to put my water pump pulley back on my 68 but its a total PITA trying to get it on the water pump pulley and PS. Does anyone have some tips or tricks on how to do this?

Are you trying to put the pulley on the water pump or the belts on?

sorry the belts on.

Anything? I really need help putting the belt on.

Just loosen the pump on it's slides and get it over the fan blades and your home.

Loosen the top and bottom bolt. You will see that the bottom one is in a slot that allows the pump to swing in toward the center of the engine. Put your belt on and use a pry bar or tire tool to put pressure on the pump to hold it tight while tightening the bolts. Do not put the pry bar on the pump housing, you could damage it!
