I did a search and didn't find the answer. I post in here because you guys know me, and there's lots of ZR-1 guys here.
A: How do you get the belt off an LT5? I have the tensioner fully pulled back, and the belt won't come off over the lip on any of the pullies. It's really "on-size"
B: The GM belt 10067477 is discontinued. I found generic replacements that reference that GM number. If the length is so critical that it won't even come off easily, will a generic replacement fit properly?
This is the car I'm prepping for NCRS Performance Verification. It's been one thing after another. This morning I fired it up and the belt squealed like a stuck pig. FAIL! It may be the original (hard?) belt. This car doesn't have many total miles on it.
As always, Thanks in advance.

I did have the OE belt when I did mine. Off I don't recall - I don't recall mine being that large a PITA but it's mentioned to be nearly every time the question is asked.

This is a newer serpentine reference that I stumbled upon since you've posted. It's certainly a few years newer/fresher than my install and I don't know if it's of value or not. This guy likes "shinie" pulleys and that nonsense so I've no idea

I did my alternator on my 91 ZR1 a couple of months ago. I had "difficulty" with the belt but was able to finally get it.
I put a long ratchet on the tensionor and pulled it back and propped it with pressure on it. I then went around to each pulley I could put a finger on and "ooched" it about 1/16-1/8 at a time, alternating from one to another. Once I got it about 1/2 way off it slid off with no issue.
Putting it on was less hassle but still required the "ooch."
