One gotcha doing this job is the nut behind the tensioner pulley rotating when you try to fit the new belt. Fix this issue before you try to install the new belt. Otherwise you will have extreme difficulty fitting the new belt because it ill be impossible to move the tensioner pulley sufficiently to get the new belt over the pullies.
Use a straightedge to check alignment of the pullies. On mine the a/c pulley was forward of all the rest.

How do you fix this problem? Is it just a matter of tightening it up?

Thanks
