Message	Normally, I'd have never thought of doing that, but I started my winter beater last month after it sat for about 6 months and it shredded my alternator belt because my alternator seized. A little PB Blaster and turning the pulley by hand resolved the issue. Your pullies may not be seized, but it's better to check first before finding out the hard way like I did. I'd also recommend changing fluids. Putting eBay "performance" parts on your Nissan 300ZX is like putting Pep Boys wheels on your Cadillac Escalade... even people on welfare know better.
