Putting on a belt after new built motor

[Peedystablo82]

So I just put back in my motor after it was built and we cut the AC belt when we were taking the motor out. We are having trouble getting the AC belt back on so we just strapped it to the side and left it for right this second. What's the easiest way to get this thing on? I have the ATI 10% balancer and the 8 rib setup with the Paxton.

They make a plastic ramp tool that you can buy for like 15 bucks on amazon.

Is that what it is called exactly? Lol.

Thank you. I went ahead and I got the metal one.

Did mine with a few zip ties

Get the belt behind the crank pulley and fully on the AC pulley.

Pull the belt on to the crank at about 11 o’clock and zip tie 3/4 times in that place.

Turn the crank by hand until it pulls the belt in place.

This.
Might I add, make sure battery disconnected and ignition off.

I've used a large plastic pry tool to pry/push it on while someone rotates the crank with a breaker bar. Not fun though. I soaked the belt in hot water to help stretch it out lol
