i'm almost 100% sure that this is the right way to do it for what i have, but for some reason its coming up like 4-5" too big.

This belt was on a friends car with teh exact same setup and its too big on my car (4-5"). I know that every car is different but i didnt think it could be this much. its seems if i reverse the tensioner it would work.

-Is the way i drew it in teh pic the right way?? I have No a/c (FMS delete) and smog pump removed.


PS. Anyone elses attachments not working the usual way??

yeah i just wasnt thinking, mind lapse i guess, ive done it prolly 20 times b4 i just have been around the car in like 5 months lol...as soon as i posted the pic and looked at it, i realized how to do it...thats what i wrote in my 2nd post. when i did it the right way it still ended up being about an inch or too too Loose. so i need a new belt anyways.

Mike, u can close this thread if u want, as it is useles, but thanks for the help everyone.
