    When I did my swap out, I used a bolt with a square head that fitted within the sqaure hole and a pair of vise grips. You can find the bolt at your local hardware store for around 50 cents. Unless to have better things to do with your money ............

    Got the T wagon back from the indie shop for 70000 mi. etc. and the tech printed a schematic of a new serp. belt routing which puts more belt on the alternator pully. Aparently there was enough of a problem, especially when wet, that someone found a better way. The new routing uses a longer belt.

    Daniel,

    Having the proper tool would probably make it much easier. That said, the Haynes manual shows fitting a piece of flat stock (steel or aluminum) into the tensioner's square hole and turning it with a crescent wrench. Crude but you'll likely only need to do this once or twice. That $25-$30 could buy a set of Hella air horns.

      No You Don't Need IPD's Tool!! 850

      I use a $4- 7 inch flat steel pry bar that I got at home depot.

      Just needs to fit the square hole in the tensioner and a little elbow grease.

    Daniel,

    You can make your own I think.

    But for @$25.00US I think it's well wortht the money. On my S70 with the IPD strut-tower brace, however, I had to remove the R strut-mounting to get the tool over far enough to turn the tensioner and align the locking pin.

    Let me know if you need more info.

    Bryan
