i have a 1995 honda prelude si w/ jdm h22a, i am trying to remove my alternator belt, to replace it with a minus A/C one, but i cant get the belt off the car, it gets stuck in between the pully and body of the car, how do i get the belt off and put on another? thanks

 

The space between the alternator pulley and frame is pretty tight. Just try to wiggle it around, turn it to the side or something to squeeze through. Otherwise, if you have a new one, just cut the old one and slip the new one from the topside then pull it through from the bottom.

 

take the belt off the pulleys and then turn it sideways and slide it between the frame and the crank pulley. should come right out in a matter of seconds.

 

its wayyyyyy to tight it gets close to being stuck in between the pulley and the body of the car, do i force it through or is there an easyer way?

There should be enough room to pull it through. Just work with it and wiggle it around some.

 

can i use a flat head screw driver or will it damage the new belt?

Turn the belt sideways and pull it through dude. Lift or drop the alternator on the mounting bolt if you have to...
