A real dumb thing to do i know but while replacing my belt today i got so darn fed up with screwing with the tensioner that i just climbed on in the engine compartment and stood on it. Sure enough it gave me all the slack i needed and the belt popped right on.

I geuss you could say i kicked my trucks a$$ lol.

Just thought i would share and i know it was a real dumba$$ thing to do lol.

 

hey whatever works

 

haha i can see myself doing this.... haha

 

I could barely fit my arm between the fan casing to let alone my leg.
Did you have aftermarket efans?
