I slammed into a curb only a month after purchasing my 87GL and took the
belt off then as I could not afford a new rack job...(quote was
750.00!)
Well years went by and that job is still on my list. Hopefully I can
afford it now and will be doing that job before too much longer.
I had no problems removing the belt and the van has been on many long
trips with it that way. You get use to the harder steering...
