cant seem to figure out how to get the belt off my c5 with ProCHARGER P1.......the water pump is going out. I tried to move the tensioner pulley or what I thought was the tension pulley but it doesnt seem to want to move either direction the way it should go it moves about a 1/4 inche and thats it. How do you get the belt off these things?
Where is the tension pulley if there is one?

Have you tried removal of alternator bolts and then prying belt off alternator?

Which generation kit do you have? And is it a Procharger bracket or an A&A or ECS ?

Several ways to do it on the original procharger design (if that is what you have).

Basically, Put ratchet on tensioner (near coolant overflow tank) push it towards the center of the car. Then slip the belt off the water pump. It is best to be on the opposite side of the car to reach the belt.
Another option is the alternator pulley.

The alternator pulley trick works great on my A&A kit.
