After replacing the air conditioner pulley with the pulley delete and installing a smaller Vortech SQ-trim pulley, i am in between belt sizes.
Goodyear/Continental Belt
4080545 - Fits but when tightening the Vortech tensioner pulley, the belt touch other side of the belt.. A bit too long.
4080535 - Struggle to install . Belt to short.
In between the above to 2 lengths is 4080530. This belt fits ok BUT after installing the belt tensioner, the 4080530 serpentine belt is a little too tight. Ive checked my setup and all is as should.
My question- would it possible to stretch a serpentine belt a little bit without compromising it? If so, how would i do it?
Thanks.
