I just replaced mine and had the same problem. If you look at the new one, you should find a small hole at the base of the metal tube.

When inserting the new one, I found that it should not be inserted as far the original one was and has a gentle snap.

I go to the local parts store & buy a repair book for the vehicle for approx. $20, read the procedure in the book, gather the tools & parts required, replace the belt per the instructions
