Not sure where I should actually post this, if I'm wrong I'm sorry. Having recently rounded the nub on my tensioner I had to resort to the pry bar trick. As it does work in a pinch, I'm just not a fan of this method. I've read that there is a specific tool for the job but no manufactures name. If someone knows who makes and where to get one I would really appreciate the help. Thanks!

 

As far as I know there are no tools on the market that make changing the belt on our cars easier haha.

 

I just use a pry bar.

Catch the tip of it over a nub on the head nd push down on the pulley with the bar.
