In the middle of trying to change the timing belt, and I have a bit of a problem. 200 1980

The AC belt is removed by separating the two halves of the sheave on the crank that drives it. Remove the nuts from the 6mm studs that encircle the inner rim of the sheave, and then pull the front half off. There are a series of shims that are used to establish the tension of the belt by spacing the two halves of the sheave closer or further apart. It is the same stupid method used by old air cooled Volkswagens. Stupid and time consuming, but doable.
