Serpentine Belt Replacement
 
My original belt gave up the ghost at 78k miles. With a breaker bar on the tensioner there is no way to get enough slack to put the new belt on. Is there a way to move another pulley or the tensioner to get more slack? Belt is a Gatorback 4081190.
Thanks in advance,

if you have the tensioner all the way pulled back and cant get the belt on that means you did it wrong or you got the wrong belt, simple as that.

I believe there may have been two different belts based on the tensioner. Seems like I hade this problem, then again I'm getting old and senile so this may be BS......
