@*()#& Serpentine Belt!!

Changing my first one today. Got it off, and now I can't get the new one on, or the old one! I rotated the tensioner all the way, but the belt still comes up about an inch up the damn tensioner. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Double-check the routing. Comming up short is a classic symptom of bad routing. There should be a diagram showing the correct routing on the radiator.

If not that, then go back and double-check that you got the correct belt. I got mine at AutoZone and they gave us the wrong one the first time...
