The bearing holders have a groove marking their orientation in the bulkhead. Rotate the bearing holders in the bulkhead toward the center of the car to increase the tension on the belt.

BTW dont tension the belt with the belt tensioner... set the belt tensioner so it is as slightly off the belt as possible.
