I got my old belt and was able to spin the flywheel about an inch, reversed the belt and was able to spin it the other way. It was not easy though. So back on the side for soaking.. I think I’m going to spin it again clockwise and leave it in that position to resume soaking.
Funny, I thought that flywheel was just a fix, immoveable pan like the old car air cleaner housings. But I looked underneath it to see it separated.
And so 10 minutes later when I went to spin it clockwise, got maybe two more inches. now soaking. Encouraged!
