He's 100% correct! I learned that the hard way when I installed my lightweight pulley a few weeks ago. It's helpful to have the bracket marked as a guide... but base it on belt tension, not the mark you put on the bracket.

Here's a video I looked at when I was "teaching myself" how to do it. Some good information...
