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!!!!!!!!

Thanks Jerry, yep it is 2" belt. My concern is I can easily slide the belt on the pully (easier then before). The 2" Gilmer drives the alt and wp from the crank. I have a reg v belt that drives the ps. I know there have been many issues with too tight and destroying bearings in alt and wp using the large gilmer drive.
