Re: belt change

Just for future reference, if you lap the belt around all the pulleys except for the tensioner pulley, you should come reasonably close to having it on. Then all you need to do is grab a pry bar with a narrow edge (like one of those really long Snap-On flat-heads) and place it under the hydraulic tensioner, and lodge the tip on the rib of the backing plate of the assembly. Just simply push up on the bar with one hand and the slip the belt on the pulley with the other. Youre done! No time or money spent.
