Belt goes around crank puller up to powersteering pulley across to alternator pulley and then down under the tensioner?but the belt still has a little slack in it!?and i didnt have to move the tensioner to get the belt under?

Are you sure it is the correct belt for your model car?

 

[G37HRO]

well they told me there was 2 sorts of belts one for power steering and one for non powersteering and mine has power steeering

It should be tight to get it on IIRC, it shouldn't just slot on.

get a crow ba/pry bar an push the alternator back till the belt is taught then tighten.

I did mine the other day but mine doesnt have a tensioner or anything else, just a basic loop from alternator to crankshaft. One of the most frustrating jobs i have ever done on my car...

8v's are a piece of cake to do. Cut the old belt off, put the new one fully around the alternator pully, and as much as you can over the crankshaft pully, then flick the ignition on for a second. If you get it right the belt should be on and shouldn't need tightening up. 5 minute job.
