Is your period-key broken?

 

Your 03 Probably has just one a 1.40 spacer if this is the case I would not just remove it (not because you can't run with out it) this is a very big spacer and will make a major change in belt deflection . If the belt is just starting to squeel I bet it would be to much. Before you even pull the cover I would get one of each size spacer from your dealer they are cheep and you are gona need them at one time or another. This will give you the flexiblity you need to adjust the belt right this time and from now on. By the way adjusting the belt is a snap after you do it a time or two. Hope this helps
