Engine belt labor time..... Lightning

[Fredsvt]

What's a realistic labor time to replace both the blower and main accessory drive belts on a 1999 SVT Lightning?

 

Is the lower blower pulley a 14mm allen?

 

My RealTime labor guide doesn't list it properly.

 

I don't think .8 is quite enough.

 

TIA

I ran into this a while ago on a Foose F150 with the roush charger. It has the same 2 belt setup with the braket and pulley that need to be removed to replace the accesory drive belt. I think it was about 3 hours but im sure I could cut an hour off if i did it again. As for the pulley im pretty sure i borrowed some contraption from JIM which was a bolt with a 14 or 13mm head welded to a socket. And i think it was left hand thread.

Thanks, I kind of figured.

 

Pulling the fan, shroud and all the brackets is necessary.

 

I do remember reading it's left hand thread.

 

It's my truck, so I need to know how much time to leave open to do it.

I made up a locking tool to go to a converter stud to the trans.

 

I'll climb under/over it with some sockets this weekend to see what size the pulley bolt is.
