What I've done was recommended on a previous version of this same thread
a couple of years ago, I installed 2 !
One of course on the pulleys for operation, and the spare, over the hub
extension, but zip-tied onto the frame cross member out of harm's way.
Now if I have a failure, I can clip the zipties and rig the spare on the
pulleys.
And yes, I got 'em on by loosening the right (near side) motor mount and
jacking the engine (sump protected by a bit of 2 by 6) up enough to
clear the belts.
