This is insane! No way in hell I would ever have a screwdriver in my hand near 2 spinning pulleys.

You tension the belt by sliding the generator in it's mount.

I notice"Kelso" is no longer with us. I hear he tried to change a track on a Cat D9 dozer in 30 seconds.

Pretty cool. I figured something like that would work but the closest I've come to that is cutting the old belt off and prying the new one partway on and starting the car to seat it.
