You are asking a lot from a busy counter person, for a size that is not known. Since our belts are designed to go around the PS pulley, you have to measure around both pulleys with a flexible tape and get a belt a little larger so you can get it over the pulleys and still be able to tension it. Don't be surprised if your first try is not successful and they won't accept a return. Go to a Gates or other belt mfg site and try to narrow size down. O.

Size needed

Thanks O. -
Am in the process of replacing a heater core in a 96 OB. Once you remove the dash, there is a cross brace that stiffens the body, plus. Where it is attached to the tranny tunnel, there are 4 "reverse torx screws". They look like a regular torx, but they have a pin in the middle requiring a special torx . I have called my local dealer and they don't know the exact size of this screw. Anyone? Also, the replacement heater cores( aftermarket) do not come with the pipes that go through the firewall. Again, the parts man at the dealer doesn't know if they separate from the body, for the dealer sells it as a complete housing unit. Do the pipes separate from the core body? And, no I don't have one in hand to check. Thanks in advance. O.

Not necessarily. Try a thorough cleaning first. Remove from TB and separate plastic housing. The screws are soft and from an earlier post I took advice and replaced screws with cap head screws. 8mm for body and 4mm for housing. The wheel that opens and closes is magnetically driven and sticks from carbon buildup. Clean and make sure the wheel turns freely. Clear code and reinstall. Should resolve the issue. If not, junkyard, after verifying which you have. there are at least 3 types. They are not cheap otherwise. O. -
My two cents. I can't comment on brands, for I've only used KYB's so far. I use Rockauto. A little more$ than some, 4 struts @300 including shipping. I comment only because their service has been nothing less than spectacular. In the last instance I bought 2 rear for an IOB on Wed morning. Std shipping was @$12. Thursday afternoon by 1pm the Fedex truck delivered! O.
