I have to go to bed, it's like 4:20am here. I hope you get it on ok.

 

Okay, this is what I did to make it easier.

Where the tensioner is located (I have an 06 btw if that makes any diff) I basically took of the bolt located in the middle of the tensioner so I could release the tension for the stock belt to come right off.

Then when I was routing the new belt it went on fine. When I tried to put the bolt back on for the tensioner, I couldn't because the belt was restricting me. I couldn't line up the bolt in the hole because the belt was too darn strong...

I know I am an idiot somewhere but it just sux I can't get it right..

 

Ygpm

 

I replied to your PM, as well.

 

Thanks, I also searched more and actually found some neat pics!

Now I know what its suppose to look like..

By the way, I know its suppose spring loaded, but if I took off the bolts and then put them on again, have I done anything wrong? Cause I now know you're not suppose to take them off?

 

And so did I. I'll post the pic in this thread, too, for anyone who searches in the future...

 

Okay so I got it working finally. Im dumb, and I'll admit it

So, can someone tell me, if the bolts were taken off (yes Im dumb) does that mean this will effect the pulley in a huge way?

Like, will it reduce the power if I don't bolts aren't torqued down?

Let me know please!

 

Which bolts are you talking about? The ones on the crank pulley, or the one the tensioner pulley pivots on?

The crank pulley bolts should be tightened to about 18-20ft*lbs, the one in the tensioner should be torqued to 33ft*lbs.
