@Roy658, Sorry, been away for a couple of days at a funeral.
I've played with trying to get the belt aligned so many times I can now do the belt tension in my sleep I think. I have never had a problem setting the belt tension. Getting the belt aligned however is an ongoing trial and error. To loosen the belt I do it this way:
1) Loosen the two angle drive mounting bolts
2) Loosen the angle drive adjusting bolt lock nut
3) Back off the angle drive adjusting bolt a few turns until it can be turned by hand
4) Loosen the cross shaft nut on the passenger side until it can be turned by hand
You can then move the angle drive back if you want to take the belt off. Will have to keep loosening the angle drive adjusting bolt each time you need to slide the angle drive back further.
To set the belt tension I did learn something about the order in which you tighten all the bolts up that eliminated that loose feeling in the rear tire. I am not sure why it happens or at least on mine it has and I have been able to reproduce it so I know it does work.
1) Torque the cross shaft to 20 ft lbs or close to it
2) Snug up the angle drive mounting bolts hand tight. Manual has about 10 ft lbs. Either works.
3) Tighten the angle drive adjusting nut while you keep checking the belt tension until you get the desired tension you want. I leave mine a little on the loose side. PM me if you want to know why so we don't get off onto another topic. Mainly my personal choice.
4) Tighten the adjusting bolt lock nut
5) Torque the cross shaft to 150 ft lbs. (Doing this one first eliminated my loose feeling in the rear tire)
6) Torque the angle drive mounting bolts to speck
7) Torque the cross shaft to the 190 ft lbs. That took a 24" cheater bar for me.
I have not had any problems doing it this way and some may have done it other ways so which ever one works is good.
My current problem is getting the belt to ride in the center of the rear pulley or as the book says "more to the left side". I've tried turning the cross shaft but it didn't cure the belt alignment on the rear pulley and I am not sure how it can. To me it just seemed more to aligning the rear wheel left or right. No matter what I did with the cross shaft, the belt still runs against the left side of the rear pulley a little to tightly and squeaks, squeals or just makes an aggravating rubbing sound. Hopefully someone with the knowledge and has gotten the belt to run a little more straighter on pulley can chime in with how they did it. In my simple way of thinking, the two pulleys are not running true to each other and I don't see how to change that.
