SO I just changed my alternator, and was able to get everything bolted back on including the electrical and the two long atl bolts. problem is, now I can't get the serp belt back on to save my life. Is there a trick to doing this? I still have the tensioner pulley loose, by having and Allen wrench stuck through each hole so it doesn't spring back to it's default position. PLEASE PLEASE, if anyone has run into this issue, or know how to fix it let me know. This is the only big thing left on getting my car back up and running.

Thank you!!

Is the alternator in the proper position?

Are you positive you have it routed correctly per the FSM? (www.infinitiservicemanual.com if not)

Are you sure the tensioner is fully compressed?
