Short belt option

You might want to consider a short belt option that has been discussed here in the past. It allows the center idler pulley to be bypassed -saving the cost of a pulley, and the grief of having to install it.
The tensioner pulley is easy to replace. The serpentine belt isn't that difficult either. But, if you've never changed that center pulley, it can be a real PIA. I finally figured out how to do it with a friend working from the top while I worked from underneath to get that pully postioned and the spindle bolt started in the very confined space.
Unfortunately, the short belt option wasn't published here until about a week after I replaced my belt and pulleys.
Give some thought to it, and be sure to review the directions Compaqted posted a link to.
