Ya, I did that try that method, but I just couldn't get it in the mount with the belt attached. I'm dealing with brand new Toyota belts which are probably the problem. I spent a good few hours trying a number of methods and I can see they just aren't going on.

So, I picked up a set of Goodyear belts about 1/2" longer and they fit. I haven't tried to tighten yet. Hopefully, there's enough adjustment. My only concern is that the belts are sort of cheap (good thing there's two) and they are cogged. I'm not sure how that will affect things.

I'll work on it some more tonight.
