[Shotimes] pulley to battery clearance

[Mark D. Mallory]

Be careful when replacing the A/C belt, all the auto parts stores in this
area have the wrong size listed.  They always give me a size smaller than
what I need.  Off the top of my head I think they always give me a 455 and I
need a 460.

If the belt is the correct size, I'd double check the tensioner.  Make sure
the adjusting screw is not wedged inside the bracket housing (ie the e-clip
is missing and the screw head fell into the bracket housing).

Let me know if you have any other questions!
