Any easy way to install WP belt and OP belt

[oh2winindy]

Having trouble getting the water pump and oil pump belts on. They seem tight. Any trick to this? Thanks in advance

I've never had any problem getting the belts on or off. Usually only the crank pulley has sides on it so you can just put them over the crank and slide them onto the pump pulley.
There are different lengths availible so you might want to make sure you have the correct belts.

Loosen bolts on pumps to allow them a bit of movement. Put one end on pulley and then "work" belts onto second pulley. Belts can initially be a bit tight as they will stretch but should not take more than a little manipulation to install. Hopefully you did not use a silicone product on your water pump gasket as this method would break that seal. I use a light grease on mine. Luck.
