So I am driving home from a football game last eve and I notice the power isn't
quite right. Still have a lot, but definately wrong. This am I pop the hood and my supercharger belt is laying intact behind the fan. No damage seen, just jumped off. Its amazing how a K2 E550 feels! Anyway, can a guy with "fair" car-mechanical knowledge and limited tools get this back on? The belt looks perfect.

Probably easy to get back on the reason it came off should be checked.

First thing I would check is the crank pulley.

Then check the tensioner pulley, my spring went bad and the belt would go awol quite easily.

I copied these instructions from another thread on this forum, I don't think they will mind:

17mm, 16point socket and ratchet. (or just a 17mm, 16 point wrench)
tensioner is located to the left of the s/c pulley.
you should see the spot where you slide the socket onto the tensioner.
slide it on and push the ratchet towards the pass side.
you will see the tensioner release the belt.
grab the belt and slide it off.
whole process takes about 5 seconds to get the belt off and about 10 seconds to get the belt back on

The reason for the problem needs to be figured out. I would check the tensioner first.

I would seriously consider getting a new screen name. Just kidding. Hope you solve the problem.

Thanks all...especially waxking1. It slid back on fine and runs strong again. The kleeman pulley looks brand new still without any defects I can tell, but jeez, wonder what happened. Bet the stealership won't know but will charge a lot to tell me this. I also did the chalk marking thing to check for slippage after the reinstall and it may be millmeters at worst..

look on the bright side. no belt = no chirp
