Got this the other day, and don't think I'll be trying it, but worth watching for the technique

I once drove a 1972 VW home (about 50 miles) using my PF Flyer tennis shoe string!

nylon woman's stocking was always a great fix for v belt.

I don't think I'll be trying that method

As long as we're on the subject,,,Took me several hours to change the belt on my cummings. Hardest belt (to get off & on) I've ever replaced

What year ?, my 02 wasn't that tough.

My cumins belt is easy to change.

Now the belt on the Pontiac Grand Am is just a little different!

That's too funny. Did you notice how new that screwdriver looks? I wonder how many screwdrivers and belts he went through before perfecting his skills. I also noticed that you can't see much of his body. Do you suppose he didn't want us to see that he is missing an eye and has multiple puncture wounds over 3/4 of his body?

It's a very clever video, but I don't have any desire to participate in a first-hand experience.
