Ok, got the fan shroud off. how does one get the fan off? ive got a 3mm allen key, an 8 mm allen key and a 8mm hex; i tried a few things, then it got too dark to really continue; I tired to route the belt without taking the fan off, but my knuckles paid the price; whether one takes the tensioner off or not, i think that fan should come off.
Also, excuse my igonroace, what is PITA? an acronym obviously, but my attempts end up using foul language.

PITA stands for "pain in the a$$"!
I haven't done this job for awhile, but I think you need a 7mm allen to remove the fan. There are three allen bolts that you access from the inside of the fan housing.
Once the fan is out, there is a lot more room to work with...

Out of curiosity, how long do your belts last after forcing them in place as you describe?

Replaced the belt in 2001...still holding.
As archaic as I am with repairs, I am extremely careful and patient. So I rarely break things as I proceed...
