Does anyone on the forum that lives near Marietta, GA (15 miles north) or the Atlanta area that could help a member to replace the serpentine belt? Woodstock it's about 30
miles north of the Atlanta..

I can't get the new belt on for the life of me.

Removed old belt 4++ years old... shiny on the flat side. Went to install the new belt and it is missing the final pulley... next to the tensioner pulley. Tried for an hour.

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.

Thank you Starter! I had been helped many times before :-)

But unfortunately, GA it's kind of far from SoCal.. hopefully someone that lives closer sees this message

PS: Regarding you new belt.. did you measure next to the old belt? There is a possibility that the new one is not the same length

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.
