matty, do you have the belt tensioner loosened all the way? I'm able to slide the belt on with minimal difficulty and without using a screwdriver.

Tensioner pulley as loose (i.e. up) as you can get it?

I picked up the Gates K060705 for my 3.125" pulley. Could it be the belt size?

Well I got the belt on, regardless if its the right one or not, It Fits....

I spun the Drive Pulley with a rachet and the belts looks misaligned with the adjustable idler pulley thats on the engine....I spun it alittle bit and it a bit off...The adjustable pulley isnt tightened down all the way yet 14mm nut, so i really cant tell

I dont know what to do...the belt went on, but is tight, but fit...Now I spin the main drive pulley and it seems like the belt wants to come off due to the "ajustable idler pulley"...its off but not by that much...Im going to crank the car over tomorrow and see...lets hope for the best...

what would cause the idler pulley to be off of everything so much ?? I hope i didnt drop a spacer along the way..I was very carefull..

would running a step shorter belt be a problem...it was a tight fit going on, and comeing off wont be too fun either
