crap, put on pullies=belt too big

[sidewayzisbest]

Well i thought that you could put underdrive pulleys on without worry bout changing belts. But mine is too loose, can i move the tensioner to adjust it? thanks

Your only option is to get a new belt.

thats strange what pulley brand? Mine was just fine with stock belt... perfect actually

bought them used, he thinks there ASP

anyone got a link to that pic with belt sizes? thanks

Wrap a string around the pullies, pull tight and measure it.

Go to parts store and get a belt that size and two sizes smaller (belts tend to stretch).

Even with the new pullies the belt should fit fine. I dont have an air pump pulley so when my belt broke on me I had to buy 7 diff sized ones until i found the right one and took the rest back

what i think happend was when I got the belt after removing smog pump. They didn't have the size and the next smaller size was way too small but the next sized seemed to fit fine.

i just called the autozone taht stays open late. The closest they have is a 83.5" belt, yall think this would be too short? I belive i went up to the 85" thats why its too big but seemed ok without the pullies.

I really dont want to change again and need it in the morning thanks

might as well try that belt out, if it doesn't fit, take it back

 

[sidewayzisbest]

wooo it fit it was kind of tight but not really. Hopefully it wont break =x

thanks for the help

Why would it break...? If you could stretch it on w/ your own strength, i HIGHLY doubt it would break. Besides, they start to strecth over time anyways.
