you are using a 2" gilmer belt for alternator and water pump???? or is that a mis print and you meant 1/2"???

Anyway, tho, for narrow gilmers I use a method that has been successful/reliable for 50 years--take the mid part of the belt span(distance between pulleies) and twist it---you need to be able to twist it 90*, no more, no less--------with just your fingers, not a cresent wrench!!!!!!!!
