Quick question about swapping out belt
This is a very newbish question, but with all the things i've done to cars i haven't swapped out a belt since high school so i need a refresh.
To releave all the tension on the belt i located the pully that's in the diagram, when i put the socket on it and turned it clockwise, instead of any tension letting go, the bolt (and plate behind it) in the middle of the pully just came out.
I can't find any alignment marks on it either. I'm so lost right now.
