2000 Gs 300 Serpentine Belt help
I replaced the cam seals/ timing belt, tensioner/ water pump/ valve cover seals. Now I get to the last step of puttiing the new belt on and I can't get it on. I compared to the old one and they are exact. I even tried to reinstall the old belt. I have pushed the tensioner all the back and it has bottomed out. Are there any other adjustments that I may have missed. Help please. Spent a entire day replacing all these parts and I am lacking one step. Thanks,

the hydraulic tensioner can't be installed in the engine - you have to first run the timing belt, then bolt in the hydraulic tensioner... this will tighten the belt noticeably... I usually spin the motor 360 or 720 degrees at this point to make sure everything is lined up properly... then remove the grenade pin from the tensioner, good to go...
