Tensioner Tool for $1 S70 1998

Great you did it.

RE Tensioner Tool:

I use this thing. Basically buy a plumbing "square end". The tensioner hole is about ?? 5/8", so buy the square end with 3/4":

Use a file and file 4 sides until the square fits snugly into the SQUARE in the tensioner for the drivebelt (which is slightly larger than a 3/8 ratchet).

On the THREADED part of the square end, file OPPOSING SIDES until this allows the use of an adjustable wrench.

I keep this tool in the glovebox for lond-distance trip.

- I also keep the old drivebelt in the trunk, a great item to have just for emergency.

It works everytime. I keep this thing in the glovebox. Never know getting stuck somewhere w broken belt and need this tool.
