Yup..this and Chris Miller's advise that it really could be done with
a set of extensions.  My father, curious as to all the fuss, came by.
"Of course you can.  He then proceeds to thread it right in.  #@$@%!.

I broke that bolt, and the ps pump promptly did nothing.  <sigh>.
That's getting left for better light.

I move on to the A/C compressor, easy to get loose, although one of
the "A" bolts couldn't be reached because of the belt, so it was left
tightened, and the compressor, with a few tugs, came to the bottom
stop.

The current belt(conti-tech, the only one) is -not- coming off easily
at all, and has been left until the morning as well.  I might just
snip it; I have a sneaking suspicion it's the wrong size, but I'm
worried that it -is- the right size and in fact the new belt will be
even tougher to get -on-.

<sigh>...
