<p>On a GM unit.... the fan CAN spin freely easily. The fans are
not physically attached to anything....just compressed behind the
pulley and a step on the shaft when the nut is tightened.<br>
Some have a key notch, but most are well past the key on the shaft
to have it stop them from rotating.<br>
The screech must have simply been a loose pulley. nut<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Happy Fathers day to all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So last Friday, I was going to drive the
TR4A to work and when I started it up there was loud
screeching sound coming from the engine. I thought it had to
be either the water pump or alternator (GM Delco 7127). So I
ended up going to work in my daily driver. Got home about noon
on Friday and took a closer look with the engine running and
the noise was coming from the alternator. The cooling fan on
the alternator had separated from the pulley and spun freely
on the pulley.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Picked up a new alternator at O’Reily’s for
$45.00. I even got a military discount! Pretty cool..<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since I have a A.R.E. heatshield
installed, I had to remove it and the carbs to get at the
alternator but it went fairly well. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I thought it was kind of ironic that the GM
alternator failed.. It only has about 12,000 miles on it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anyway, she’s all back together. I even got
to our local Cars & Coffee Saturday morning.<o:p></o:p></p>
