    Help with AC belt

    How the hell do u put the ac belt on?! Do u have to put some muscle into it or is there a specific method to putting it on ? I feel like the belt is too short...

    UPDATE. Belt size 13x810 was too short. 13x825 fit perfect.

      I had the same problem. Pelican belt was too short. I measured the old belt and ordered a belt of that size.

                          I had this problem today. Apparently 810 length has been discontinued by BMW and was replaced by 823, and then by 825. Probably realized 810 is far too short.

                          For anyone looking to do this in the future the new 825 part number is 64551722991 and the contitech number is AVX13X825.
