hey, first make absolutely sure you have the right belt for your car.

i have an s13 SR and i got the belt everyone said to get, but for some reason it was wayy too big. i put a rope around the pulleys to see the length i needed, went to autozone and got it.

THEN to put it on, hopefully you have a manual trans. situate the belt to go on, put it all on the ps pulley, then put it as much as u can on the crank pulley and hold it .... then just put it in reverse and slowly push the car backwards. it will slowly turn the crank to go on. if you just start the car the crank will turn too fast and it will snap.

again make sure you have the right size because i bought a size too small and it snapped in half before i got the right size.
