Default A/C Belt

I just got finished removing my A/C belt and changing out the fuel filter. The belt was a pain in the *** to get off. I had the belt tensioner all the way down and it still was a tight fit to get it off. I didnt even bother tryin at the new belt. I will give it a try tommorrow. I was wonderin if anyone has any tips for gettin the the new belt on. Maybe im missing something obvious.

It is pretty snug, especially with a new belt. I replaced mine when I replaced the actual tensioner a year or two ago.

Check the pulley on the tensioner for play. I just had to replace mine. It would throw the belt evrey few thousand miles.
