Bought a new belt today, and a metal can of denatured alcohol as prescribed. Used a wad of "blue" shop paper towels and dumped the stuff on it and wiped each one of the pulleys. I turned each one and they all turned freely except of course the crank pulley. The crank pully was impossible to get the papertowel all the way around so I took off the front wheel and go to it as best I could. There was about 1/4 -1/3 of it I just couldnt get with the paper towel. I then put on the new belt and pried as hard as I could with a pry bar on the alternator as my son tightened the bolt. The I tightened both bolts. Started right up no squeal.

Drove to walmart. When I started my car up at walmart to come home, squealed a little. Let it sit in my driveway a while and started it up again, and it squeals for the first second of starting again.

WTF??!? I'm about to go mad with this squealing belt and squeaky rear drum brake!!! LOL.

Do I just need to take that belt of and somehow just dump that denatured alcohol all over the inside of that dang thing?!? (or at least best I can get all over the pulleys?) Do I need to buy another stinking belt?

If I pry any harder on that alternator I'm afraid I'm going to break something.
