Hello, I have an old john deere 2010 diesel (yellow, loader backhoe), and i'm trying to replace the fan/generator belt. I was able to work the belt around the fan no problem (1 blade at a time), but on the crankshaft pulley, the shaft extends out to a hydraulic pump in the front. It looks like there is a shaft coupler that might allow me to disconnect and get the belt between, but it is not easy to access, and unclear how to get it apart. Is this the "best" way to get that belt on (disconnect the coupler?) and if it is, how does the coupler come apart (since it is not very accesible)
Thanks for any help
Jared
