Thanks Skunk, I could use the help.
I have too many car problems, and little luck.
There has to be an easier way to get this belt on. Anybody try making a tool to get to it from the top?
I could move the tensioner from the bottom with a large screwdriver, but not enough to get the belt on without a real problem
A custom tool may make the job gravy. I can get a 14mm socked on the bolt that holds the tensioner, but dont have a tool to get on there to turn it. Maybe weld a steel rod to a socket?
Any ideas?
