Take a tape measure and hold end on back side of belt on a mark on the belt.......Run the Belt and tape measure through your fingers as you pull the belt and tape measure through your fingers until you get back to the original mark.
That be your belt length.
Then if you get a smooth Aluminum Water Pump Pulley (Pete can get them), it becomes super easy to replace the serpentine belt slipping the belt onto the Aluminum Water Pump Pulley that has no larger diameter like the Stock Water Pump Pulley........or like trying to slip the belt on any of the other pulleys that all ride on the ribbed inside of the belt.
