Thanks for the info! So the tensioner has to come off in order to replace the belt? I had been hoping that I could fit the new belt in, then tighten up after the new damper is in.
One thing I am still not quite clear on is how to adjust the tension once I have the damper and belt replaced. I'll figure that out while the parts are on the way.
Thanks!
