yes, both idler pulleys should be installed before the belt is put back on. I had an assistant hold the tensioner wrench, so I had two free hands to work the belt. It does eventually go back on even though it seems to be too small. Good luck!!

I've just looked at the S&S service manual (page 3-41) and it advises that BOTH idlers should be removed when fitting a new belt! This will make the job much easier in the future now that I've read that!
