1995 Volvo 850 Turbo Replacing the Radiator Fan Belt on the 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo
Is the fan that is located in the motor of a fan in 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo, a radiator fan belt? How to replace it?
Answer: No. The car, the Volvo 850 is powered by a transverse engine, the radiator and the fan are mounted across the front and they are driven directly by the motor.
However, at the end of the engine the belt that was once called the fan belt is still there in your car. It doesn’t drive the fan, like it did in older cars (and still does in many longitudinally-engined cars), but it will drive the alternator, water pump, power-steering pump and (if fitted) air-conditioning compressor. Many people still refer to this belt as the fan belt, although the correct term is accessory drive belt.

2001 BMW 330Ci Replacing the Fuel Pump How to Loosen the Fuel Pump Bracing Ring on 2001 BMW 330Ci
im trying to replace the fuel pump on my 2001 BMW 330Ci, Does anyone know how to loosen the ring that holds the pump to the tank, the one on top of the fuel tank? Is it the right way to hit the indentations on the ring, to make the ring turn, I have to make sure before I hit something. Do you have links for this question?
Answer: The right way is by using a special tool that has several lugs that fit into the indentations of the big ring/nut. But if you don’t have one, you can hit the indentations on the ring but, use wood or plastic piece on the indents and hit from behind with a (preferably, a non metallic) mallet.
