Re: Belt Replacement on 91 cav
It's possible that the tensioner's gone stupid on you. Consider unbolting the alternator to loosen the belt.

Re: Belt Replacement on 91 cav
It should turn the other end of the tensioner. If it doesn't, you may have gotten a defective replacement. Like I said, if it still won't work, you can route the belt and loosen the alternator then tighten it back down once you get the belt around the pulley.
