Belt tensioner tool!!!
I tried today to no avail to install a new belt tensioner and new belt. I am beyond freaking frustrated with the stupidity of these engineers. I tried everything under the sun to put force to the tensioner to compress it and install the belt and just could not get it compressed enough to expose the second hole to allow me to install the belt. Now I had to spend 100 bucks on a tensioner tool and wait 8 freakin days to get it while my car sits at a friends house broke. Does anyone on here know of any ways of doing this without that tool?? Please help me with this i am without a car until I can figure this out. Thanks for any help

The tool is worth minimizing the frustration. I picked one up from eBay right after we picked up my son's car.
You're going to use the tool more than once and it's worth the ~$20 you will spend. Shows up in a couple of days. Sucks your car will be down. Your alternative is to see if anyone in your area has one you can can borrow.
Where are you located?
