So my friends 2 1/2 year old girl has a fear of peeing in the potty. She will go #2 in the potty. She isn't afraid to sit on it, just to pee. She has sat on the potty for 1 1/2 hours at a time and won't go. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you help your kid get over their fear?

Try having her urinate into a diaper while sitting there. After that success a couple of times, see if she'll let you cut a hole in in a fresh diaper for the next time, or even have her help you cut a hole in one. If she insists on just making a pinhole, go with the flow! (yep, pun intended!) Just work with her to make it bigger next time, etc.
That might help her become accustomed to not sitting in the wetness, which she has probably become accustomed to, and it will help put the pee where you want it. And of course give her lots of praise on each success.

I am having the opposite problem. Try a potty seat.

let her watch her mom pee on the toilet.
little kids always wanna be like their parents and maybe when she sees that nothing "bad" happens to anyone else when they go pee on the toilet that its ok for her to, also.
if all else fails, she will grow out of it eventually.
