It is very simple, you can mark the belt yourself. First on the old belt line up the crank mark like it says in the manual. Find the marks on the camshaft pulley, make a mark on each pulley and on the belt in the same spot.a white paint marker or white out works well. Also mark the crank mark with an X so you know which mark is the crank mark and put an arrow in the correct direction on the old belt . Remove the old belt. Count the teeth between each mark and transfer that to the new belt. Make sure you double or triple check your tooth count and be sure that the belt has the same number of teeth. Reinstall the belt making sure that your marks are lined up with the marks you made on the pulleys And the direction is the same (the clips they tell you to use in the manual work great) and release the tensioner. Make sure that the marks are lined up and you are done. As long as you correctly count and mark the teeth on the belt you will be ok. One final note DO NOT TURN THE PULLEYS you can move them a little if you have to,to make the marks line up on the belt and pulley but do not turn them any farther. I used a carquest belt and the marks were not correct, but I had marked the old belt before removing and marked the new belt and installed it with no problems. This method is the easiest way to do it. And I would not install any belt ,factory or otherwise without counting the teeth and double checking the marks. shawn
