BTW? If you don't have the metric, a 15/16" SAE wrench will work just fine.

Before you get too excited about a cheap easy fix, there may be underlying reasons the belt broke.

Sorry, just trying to help some one out. Missed it in my original post, didn't read the rest.

But thanks for pointing that out!

The belt is the least of his problems - if he drove the car "a few more blocks back to the house", the water pump would not have been turning and overheating the engine could be the real issue.....
