We are currently replacing the water pump in our '72 580B. A question I have is what size of fan belt is used? It has the 188ci diesel engine.

Also, is there any radiator re-installation advice anyone can provide? We had to unbolt the fan to lift the radiator up. It's quite tight in there!

After some messing around, we determined an A46 belt fit pretty well. I'm not sure why the OEM belts were too long, our alternator has the standard 2 5/8" pulley.
