How do I fix this?

If you email [email protected] he will send you the new feet.

Simply unbolt your "football" tank and move it to the side

Loosen 3 water pump pulley allen head bolts

Loosen 4 supercharger pulley allen head bolts

Remove belt

Take off the supercharger pulley, the water pump pulley and the 3 idler pulleys bolted to the black pulley bracket

Remove the one allen head bolt holding on belt tensioner and remove it from bracket

Take out the 5 allen head bolts holding the pulley bracket to the engine

Flip bracket over and remove the 5 pressed in feet

Re-install bracket with new feet they send you

Re-install 3 idler pulleys

Re-install the belt tensioner

Start bolts into water pump and supercharger pulley finger tight

Put belt back on

Tighten water pump and supercharger bolts

Put "football" tank back and tighten

Wash hands, drink a beer and light a stogie and enjoy.

PS: refer to installation instructions for torque settings. If you need them I'll look up for you.

My kit will be shipping out hopefully today, should I be worried about this belt noise issue? I am having mine professionally installed and dyno tuned.

Extremely unlikely to have an issue. We made it less likely for misalignment due to the press fit of the spacers.

Well it's official, squeal is GONE!

Thank you Dustin and Mike!!!!

Well, you win some, you loose some lol.

All I care about is its gone So nice to listen to ......Nothing squeaking and not feeling like I just pulled up with a 1978 Ford Pinto wagon (yes I had one).
