Then decided to 'stretch' the belt by hanging from it a full 5 gallin bucket o' water... overnight... didn't move at all. Tried again yesterday morning. Zero.
I'll visit a mechanic this week and pay to have it installed unless anyone knows of a trick/tip.
Giles, I wish you sucess in your endeavor.  |
Done the belt at least 6 times on various Box's without encountering the issue you're experiencing.
It sure sounds like you don't have the correct belt. Only other thing is your tensioner pulley isn't being moved far enough. Have you put the old back on? If it fits, its gotta be the wrong size on the new one.
