For everyone with belt length problems. You have to measure the belt length. You do this with a buddy. Cut your old belt and feed the belt around the belt line while your buddy holds the belt tensioner up. Mark the belt and measure with a tape measure. Whatever your dimension is round up to the nearest 1/2 inch. Add another 1/2 inch for tensioner take-up distance. This will get you the closest measurement. After installing your new belt, make sure that the tensioner meter points in the middle to high side of the tension range. This is not a guaranteed trick but this will get you closer than guessing and using a string.
