Paxton SC belt change help

[blownby]

Any good vids or write ups to replace belt?

Also any good belts locally at Autozone or Napa Or Oreily to use?
What length again for tq booster setup with 3.33 pulley. 101"

Thanks

Don't lose the little washer/spacer when you take the pulley that has to come off to get old belt off and new one on. Loosen all the mount bolts to give you a little bit of play. others may chime in.

Thought it was a 100" belt but not 100 percent sure.

I just replaced mine 1-2 months ago. It was a pain in the rear! you basically will have to remove couple spacers from the bracket, remove paxtons intake obviously. There are no videos or write ups.

download paxton installation manual and find that page with the bracket layout, look at it and look at your car from the top and you will see what needs to be removed.
If you get 100" belt you will have to move the idler 2 spaces to the right, so it will be 4th hole from left to right.
As far as belt, i think i used 100" green belt.

yup, i have gates green 100" belt. I am on 4th hole as well
CAn these be found locally?

So it appears Sc comes off, then front plate, remove old belt, then I can get new belt back on...
Then plate and SC back on.

DO you tighten SC completely and then put belt on all the way?
Do you usually have to bump car over?

What about reusing belt, just moving idler one hole left?
Belt only has like 12K miles on it. Definitely a decent amount of dust. But belt looks good

No need to remove the blower, but it will definitely make it alot easier if you do.
I would get a new belt, they are cheap so why not put on a new one and reduce/eliminate slip if you have slip.

 

[blownby]

Just thinking this belt is no stretched and should stay tight

 

[blownby]

So what belt locally works good if i can't find the green hd gates

Go on amazon, buy it with prime and pay $4.99 for next day delivery.
As far as local i'm not sure maybe check online what other brands are good quality and just buy 99.5-100" belt.

Napa and Oreily can both get them. Oreily can get later today!

What pulley does belt go on last?

 

[AfricanSnowOwl]

Definitely don't need to remove the blower. Just the intake tube. Be careful of the MAF sensor. One of the pins on mine bent the last time. I found that the easiest pulley to "walk" the belt onto is the alternator.

Well too late. I removed it! Haha
But i got it polished up nice
