The Gator Back is the best belt and quietest out there but, always make sure to change it in the intervals as required save you alot of headaches.

You don't have to remove anything to get the belt on or off. The tensioner as depicted by #3 in the above photo "gives" enough to allow the removal/replacement of the belt. The trick is to have a long enough "Cheater" bar (Mine is a 12"). Put the socket on the tensioner pulley's bolt and instead of turning left, as to loosen, turn right and the tensioner will "flex" downward, allowing the belt to slide off. Do the same when replacing the belt.
