Hi,
Does anyone have any idea how to release the tension on the alternator belt tensioner ? I need to replace my belt, however after applying a bit of pressure directly on the tensioner, i have decided i dont have the guts to just risk springing the belt off. This comes down to me being dubious as to whether i can get the replacement belt back on with the existing pressure on the tensioner.
My question is this,
Is there an easy way to relieve some of the pressure from the tensioner so you can replace the alternator belt easier ?
If you have piccies or any links to someone who has done it, i'd be grateful :)
