#96426, "RE: PD Mechanical timing belt tensioner conversion write up. with pics!!!" In response to In response to 2
Some of you have been having problems slipping on the timing belt because its too tight. In the instructions it says to turn it all the way counter clockwise to give it the most slack. But i found out that the most slack is a little before going completely counter clockwise. What I did was use a 1/4 inch socket wrench, put it on the tensioner and played with it until I got the most slack. I had trouble sliding the belt on at first, but if you use this way, you shouldnt have to lossen the idler pulley.
