1500 with single belt for alternator and water pump. I have always had to unbolt the alternator, tilt it at an angle to get the belt on and then wrestle with the alternator to get it back in place on the lower mount. Today I spent and hour trying to do this and I I still have no belt mounted. Just not enough slack in the belt to get the alternator back on it's mounting bracket. Never had to fight this much before on any of my Xs. Next I'll try doing the motor bump method of trying to get the belt to slide onto the crank pulley. And yes it's the right belt.
If the bump method won't work I may just burn the car to the ground.
