Easiest way to install new belt?
 
I have a OTT kit and have the stage 2 belt that I have to put on, and just by looking at it there looks like no room at all.... Any tips? Thanks

It's actually very easy to do. Get it on the crank pulley first, somewhat on the ac compressor. Then do the idler, tensioner and lastly do the sc.

easiest way is to pull the front right tire everything is right there

That too. I forgot since mine has been off so many times in the last week.

Don't worry about lining it up at first either. Get it up and over all the pulley's, then line everything up.

you'll need 2 people if you're using an open end
i know people have said they use crowbars too..haha
I used the pulleyboys tensioner tool..would not take that belt off again without it

its me and my bro i can hardly get the tensioner to move and when i do we are like 1/4 inch below the pulley lip on either pulley. i know its gotta be tight but damn

check to make sure that the belt is properly on all of the other pulleys..if that is you can take the s/c off and slip the belt on the pulley, and then force the s/c onto the intake manifold..
did u take ur wheel and plastic covers off like everyone said? that helps a ton to make sure everything's on right.

i used to use a 15mm open end wrench i think it was... but didnt work too well... now i use a small pair of vise grips, grab on to it tight and its good to go
