    YouTube is your friend. I made a routing diagram first, then moved the tensioner by hand and snaked out the belt. It's pretty easy. And soak your old one in some leather treatment so you have a spare, don't toss it

    Try spraying a belt conditioner on the belt to see if it helps solve the squeaking/squealing

    I've done it.
    I used a big flathead beater type screwdriver and pulled it back by wedging in between the block and the spring arm on the tensoner.
    Hope that helps!
