Handy belt change tool

[ShootToThrill]

Pull out all washers and aluminum sleeve if you have an old shock collar laying around use it to compress spring. Could even make something like this from pvc pipe. Think I'll keep it in tool kit until I get a belt adjuster that has this feature built in.

Not right now but there's nothing to it really. What do you want a picture of? Can do it later after work.

I just push the secondary open by hand and pull the belt off. Been doing it that way for years. No big deal.

Not sure how u did it with pvc pipe

 

[ShootToThrill]

Remove secondary bolt, remove aluminum sleeve. 1.5 inch pvc matches the dia of the washer really close, cut a piece off .4-.5 inches long. center the pvc on the washer and helix while screwing in and it will push and hold it in nicely. Yes this can be done by hand, but as you open it by compressing it slowly you can watch your rollers and inspect things a little easier. No pics yet phone is down
