The rest of the belt kinda hangs off the side. Put all my pressure on the spot where the belt was in the groove and started turning over the engine really slow. If you can keep enough pressure on the belt where its in the groove, it will pinch itself in place and keep it from sliding as it walks itself on. The belt on the balancer may walk over a little but I just slowly worked it back the other direction so they were both fully seated.
Turns out there's no tool necessary if you figure out the trick. Both the lisle and oreilly tools didn't work for install.

Which way are you turning the crankshaft when you do this? Are you saying the belt is fully on the groves of the groves closest to the engine on the crankshaft pulley when you start?
