Hi gang!
Could someone please explain to me how to relieve the belt tension on my '98 SPORT?
I see no way of prying it, and when I attempted to use the bolt on the front of the tensioner to rotate it in the direction that is molded into the assembly, the bolt began to loosen, so I stopped.
I was concerned that if I continued to the end of the bolt, the tensioner would come out of therelike a bullet zeroed in on my nose!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Frank

 

Aaaaaaallrighty then. NEVERMIND!

 

Sorry for missing this one...If you haven't already figured it out, you should see a square hole in the belt tensioner arm. This is where you place a 3/8" drive rachet. You swing the arm in one direction or the other to pull the tension off of the belt for replacement and installation.
