Hold on there, keep your mind together until you try it and it works, lol. No guarantees on noises OR leaks .... some of those threads can be pretty convoluted!

I agree with Mark. I did it when I put the engine back together. Probably the only image I have of it after my old MAC computer issue. I don't think I was planning on making it a point.

It's a hard surface, I did it with my orbital palm sander and 60 grit. Maybe 40 grit.

If the solution to this squealing belt saga turns out to be as simple as sanding the water pump pulley I don’t know if I’ll laugh or cry. Maybe I’ll do both.

I expect BPD sells a bullet-proof belt.

The noise is gone. No squeal.

I didn’t do anything. I didn’t even open the hood to try the suggestions. The noise simply stopped.

I do not understand.

Belts have a sense of humor, too.
