Unorthodox Racing Uderdrive pulley install tips (PICS)

Well after much debate i decided to order an Unorthodox Racing Pulley underdrive pulley. last night a friend and i installed it at his house. I followed the instructions UR provided with the pulley and i also had my FSm as a back up. Instructions were pretty straight forward but i did run into one Problem the belt that UR recommended for the Power Steering was too small. they recomended Gates K040292 so i purchased this belt but when we tried to get it on it would no fix even when all the tension from the belt tensioner was removed.i had to wait until morning to get another belt which after checking was the next size up, the belt that i used for my power steering was Gates K040305 this belt worked perfect but tension had to be tensioned all the way for belt to fit. Ialso suggest replaing Oil seal at the same time i changed mine and it was $5.37 from nissan Part # is 13510-31U00. Prett simple install. We had air tools and a lift and we did not removed the tire because i could not find my wheel lock.I am going to contact UR on monday and let them know of the problem i ran into with the belt.
Pics
i also took the time to do an oil change, after 5000miles +15 passes at the track. it was way over due. this is the first time i let it go that long

I used the stock power steering belt and it fit perfectly. The UR pulley has about the same diameter groove as the stock pulley.

you gotta be more specific than that. do you mean the tensioner or crank pulley bolt.
