S/C Belt Change Question?
I was wondering do you need a special tool to release tension from the belt tensioner, when changing the S/C belt?

A long 1/2 inch breaker bar will do the trick. You can also go to an Auto Zone or other parts stores and get one that is made/dedicated to release the tensioner.

what he said. i use a 22" pry bar to push on tensioner so I can pull the breaker bar out vs letting it rest against the intercooler tank.
