99 Legacy L, 2.2liter, (California model, judging by the air filter type and location), 5 spd.
Putting on new T-belt - it seems too short. Even with tension adjuster compresed as specified in the manual, can't get it onto the last cam sproket. Compared to the old one- seems the same - same number of teeth between the marks. Subaru part # 13028AA181 - for 6/98-5-99 models. VIN #4S3BK435XX6312464. Tried puttnig the old belt back on - seems the same problem. Could it be that it was stretched, then shrank back?
two questions:
1) is it the wrong belt?
2) any tricks on how to make it go on?
I am at a loss.
Thanks for any help.
