My Griso 8V is 2-1/2 years old and has 76k miles on it.
So I thought I'd do some preventive maintenance and change the alternator belt.
I removed the left and right body panels (air ducts ?; wings ?). And removed the ECU cover.
BUT
after spending about 10 min looking at the screws for the alternator belt cover.
The bottom four at clearly accessible. However; I don't see how to access the upper most screw.
It's buried deep behind the horn, ECU, frame, etc ..., and has a 2" spacer on it.
So I could not access it with my T-handle Allen wrenches or even a typical hex key.
Has anyone changed the alternator belt on their Griso 8V while the motor is still in the frame ?
If so; what all did you have to remove in the process ?
And what size is that upper most allen screw on the cover ?
(It's definitely smaller than the other screws which are 5mm.)
Thanks;
