Tale the difference in millimeters and divide it my 25.4

This will give you the difference in inches. It sounds like
you need a belt that is 10 to 15 mm longer. This makes
it about 0.4 to 0.6 inches longer. A quick conversion is to
use 0.2 inches for each 5 mm.

You definitely need help. It should be obvious that the belt you are trying
to put on, is too short. All this talk of 3 1/2" bearings and cement filled
tuna cans to *force* your belt on tells me that changing a serpentine belt
is way out of your league. Pay someone with a brain to do it for you.
Sheesh.........

Most vehicles with this belt has a pully you can disengage allowing you
to put the belt on with no trouble. Then you put the pully back to its
original position and the belt is on with the proper tension. I've
never had a problem with one.
