Sizing a replacement belt after installing a new pulley can be
tricky. Instead of buying five or six new belts, try applying this
formula and using the following tips.
When you spin an adjustable pulley and increase its diameter to squeeze
air out of a belt-drive fan, there are times you’ll find the old belt
no longer fits. The first fix is to loosen the bolts on the motor mount
and slide the motor as close to the fan as possible to see if the belt
will slip over the edge of the pulley. If that doesn’t work its time
to surrender muscle to brainpower and calculate the size of a new belt.
