The difference between a fixed pulley and a movable pulley is, the wheel of a fixed pulley does not move because the wheel is attached to a wall, ceiling, or other object. Unlike a fixed pulley, a movable pulley's wheel does move. The wheel on a movable pulley is not attached to a wall or other object.

A fixed pulley changes work by changing the direction of a force. A movable pulley changes work by reducing the input force needed to lift heavy objects. A movable pulley changes the direction of the input force and reduced it. A movable pulley also increases the output force.

How do you change a fan belt on a 72 bug?

You should get Muirs book and or the Bentley manual as they have a HUGE amount of info. They have a two piece pulley system. Put a medium size straight screw driver in the slot of the inner Generator pulley and then it will hold the pulley from moving when you take off the nut. Keep track of the "shims". Put "shims" between the two pulleys or between the nut and outer pulley to tighten or loosen the belt. Once you get it right put the remaining "shims" between the outer pulley and the nut and then torque it down.
