Need tool info

OK dont laugh at the title but isnt there a specific type of tool used to get the belt off. Using a open end wrench sucks. Thanks for the help.

There is, but i think u can get it only from pulley boys or something like that..

its more of a pushing down motion than forward with the wrench...

I used a wrench. Just put the angled bit up under the hook, the wrench body on the tensioner, and push down. Make sure you line up the ribs correctly and it should slide on nicely.
