Replacing Alternator Belt on a 182P

[trustinmckee]

Hello guys.
I'm in a bit of a pickle trying to swap out the alternator belt on my 182P. Totally stuck here trying to squeeze the new belt on it, there's just not enough room between the pulley on starter adapter drive and the firewall.

Anyone been there, done that? Got any tips or wise words to help a fellow DIYer out? Thanks!

You could try taking off the adapter without messing with anything else. But you might run into a snag with two long bolts. You may need to raise the engine a bit to get them out.
