any issues with changing a oil bath chain to a belt.

tired of 5 hour rear tire changes |
Answers:
- No issues, other than knowing how to covert a chain drive to a belt drive.
Lemme say this, though; If it takes you 5 hours to change a tire with a chain drive...it will take you 5 hours to change a tire with a belt drive.
Now, there IS a difference in changing a drive belt verses a drive chain. A drive chain takes about a half hour. A drive belt takes about 5 hours. A drive chain you can replace on the road, yourself. You do the math. By: 47Knuckle-Dragger on: 8-2-2008
