The belt is off. The idler pulley is off. The tensioner pulley has a T45 which I cannot get to! Not enough room between the T45 and the metal fender to get a 3/8 ratchet and T45 squared up. No even close! I have a swivel, but that is too long to work.

I tried a pair of pliers on the end of the T45 bit, but it just slipped.

It appears the tensioner pulley is in pretty good shape, but I would really like to put on a new one.

So far all of the bolts came out, but some gorilla probably did the last T belt change out. Lots of torque required to get these thing loose.
