First off... thanks for this site and it's continual assistance.

So i got my belt on. Took out the four bolts on the top pulley and the two bolts down to the right which had that spacer block to pull out for belt installation. As easy as I thought it would be, I can't get the two bolts to thread in. It's like they are not lining up. I have been at it for a while now and guess that when I loosened those two bolts that the motor turned making the hole off by just a tad.
Solution?? Don S had that nice little diagram to go off of and it stated to "NOT" loosen the two bolts on the other side. Is this still the case now that I am in a pickle? Anyone care to help me on this?
Thank you.

below is that nice diagram I spoke of... can I loosen those two bolts on the left?

2x4 gently against the alt to raise it a hair to start the bolts. If the other 2 bolts are tight to begin with ,the motor usually dosent shift around.
