Gates or Gatorback - where to buy?
Where online or offline can I buy a Gates or Gatorback belt for a 3.125" Pulley?
From reading the belt thread, I know I need Gates # K060705.
Is Gatorback a better belt or does it not matter?
Thanks,
IanS

I see they are made by Goodyear....would a Goodyear Tire Shop have them?
Guess I'll call around...

The Goodyear belt actually cost less than the Gates (doesn't necessarily mean it's not as good).
I didn't use the Gatorback because it would (theorectically) decrease the surface area in contact with the pulley. I didn't think it was a good tradeoff for the "quieter" belt. Just my opinion though.

Well, I bought the gatorback...may as well try it and see what happens.
My Gates belt has 0 wear and tear visibly...so if I don't like the gatorback, I'll just put the Gates back on.
Bought it from AutoZone.com for $32.00 shipped.

Next question:
WHat does the pulley retainer clip look like? I can use the same one from my old pulley on my new pulley right? (Don't need to buy another one)
How do I remove/replace the pulley?
(I know to remove the HEX Bolts to get the blower off the plate, but then what?)
Thanks!
