Even with that procedure, some belts will not go on. I had a new belt with the exact same part number as the original belt that would not go on. I think the Goodyear belt went on easily without this procedure.

That makes sense. I finally settled on something similar - pulled the belt over the PS pump while holding the tensioner ALL THE WAY back (important!).
THANKS 4 ALL THE RESPONSES!
