If you have a pry bar just use it in the tensioner, thats what i did when i got in a pinch. Mine has 2 idlers on a spring loaded tensioning assembly, i just carefully used a pry bar to turn it to loosen the belt, and put it back on the same way.

Heck I just grabbed the belt and pulled up on it. May not be the safest way to do it. But it worked when I was on the side of the road.

I just spoke to Craig and he said he was OK (not on the side of the road) he got it back to a relatives house and was going to attack it in the AM.

Yeah everyones safe and we made it too my inlaws so I'll hit it in the morning. Thanks for all of the replies. Tried pulling on the belt and it would get close to giving me the slack I needed but just not enough.

Thanks again.
Craig
