'Free' Drive belt tool

Basically buy a large enough bolt.
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).

The hex part of the bolt can be turned by either:
- appropriate key
- 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.
