That's great news! I'm glad that worked for you.
I have to say that was a pretty smart move to tackle the belt while you were in there. That's a pretty pricey thing to get done by the dealer.

You’re the guy that kicks someone when they’re down right? When someone asks you for help, you criticize what’s wrong instead of helping or answering a request for help?

This forum will get more and more technical as the platform matures. Normal car forum evolution.

Agreed. As the cars get older and more people start working on them, right? Either way, the comment just seemed “off,” condescending and insulting and I’m an attorney (self-deprecating humor)! Seriously: No one can be more obtuse that me!

Without a more definite response so far, I'd guess that the engine settled a little in relation to the carrier and the bolt hole. You may need to find a safe jack point to lift the engine just a tad, it probably wouldn't take a lot of force, cushioned by something to spread the load like a block of wood or rubber.
This would only be a possibly correct answer if the targeted bolt hole (threaded part) if slightly lower than the hole in the carrier. I can't tell in the photos.
I just looked through the detailed shop manual and don't see anything addressing alignment when resetting this bolt.

Take a deep breath, relax. His post was authentic and very much on point. I am surprised that the forum came up with the solution myself.
