How To Measure A Drive Belt Without Cutting It
 ✖  |
Michael Heron, Lloydminster, Sask.: “Here’s what I do when I need to replace a drive belt and want to measure it without cutting it. I tape one end of a fabric measuring tape onto the belt, and then rotate the belt pulley until the tape winds back around to its starting point. If you want to try this idea but don’t have a fabric measuring tape, you can use an old, longer belt that’s already cut. Rotate the belt around the pulleys and mark it, then remove the belt and measure it. If none of these methods work, just make equidistant marks at convenient lengths on the belt and tally up the total length.”
Richard McMeekan, Viola, Ill.: “I always keep a short metal shoe horn in my toolbox. It really comes in handy when installing radiator hoses.”
