Well, I was able to get the four bolts out of the crank pully and could only move the shaft back about a 1/4 of an inch. Like others recommended, I unbolted the hydraulic pump and was able to move it forward about a 1/2 inch or so to provide enough clearance to get the belt through and into position. Bolting up the crank pully wasn't too difficult as I could move the drive shaft by hand to align up the holes. To get the bolts into position where I could reach in with a wrench, I would go to the U-joint by the pump, insert a screwdriver in the U-joint, and push/pull to rotate the driveshaft into position where the bolts would be reachable. I took me nearly all day to get the belt into proper position.
It was getting late last night and I'm working outside here in Northern Michigan. Unfortunately, after spending at least an hour, I wasn't able to get the belt over the alternator. After the belt was over the two engine pulleys, I re-installed the alternator. With the alternator in place, I wasn't able to get the belt over the alternator pulley. I tried slipping a screwdriver under the belt and "pry" it over the alternator pulley, but still wasn't able to get it over the pulley. I took the alternator off, slipped the belt over the pully, and then tried to bolt the alternator back on the engine, and again, I wasn't able to align the holes to get the two screws through.
I have the same brand/part # of the belt that was on previously (Gates 9555D Green Stripe) but I'm having trouble getting the belt over the Alternator pulley. Any advice/recommendations on how to get the belt installed?
