Ok guys, I know as someone already said in a post i read that this is a super dead horse subject but I can't find exactly what I need and got aggravated after weeks of searching so here goes....
New gates belt, bs belt, and tensionerS (including auto tensioner), plus new water pump...all installed. Now I'm trying to set tension. Torque wrench, check. Had special tool MD998752 made by a friend at work: he took old pulley and welded 2 lil dowel pins in proper location onto a socket! I was using batt rod in place of other special tool but I bent it upon removal for him to take and fab something similar. Do I need 2nd special tool to set tensioner pulley? And where should the 2 holes be aligned to begin with coz I read they wouldn't be on left side of using a gates belt...why that makes a difference I'll never know. Thanks in advance for any and all help!
