Changing the fan belt.
Just a quick one, I'm about to change the fanbelt and the manual says stick a screwdriver into the alternator at 12o'clock to lock the pulley shaft. I can find no stop at the top of the alternator but the screwdriver does stop against something at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock.
Is this normal or am I going to damage something if I press on ?
Mike.

Just in case anybody from the future looks to this thread for help, here`s the generator (thanks Roy ) with the pulley removed.
The bolt head at 12 o`clock is what the screwdriver locks against....
Cheers, Mike.
