Re: 1929 626 front pulley service

The vibration damper bolts to the face of the fan pulley and is located centrally by a spigot that penetrates the VD by only about 3/16". Remove the hand crank nut then the 4 bolts and it should come off reasonably easily. Be careful not to lever off the fan pully flange where the belt runs as it is likely to be very thin and easy to break.
Incidentally my 2 1929 Standard Eights have front mounted water pumps and have front mounted vibration dampers, in my opinion the drawing in the book is wrong, I have never seen one with the VD behind the fan pulley.
