Maggie belt adjustment
Does anyone have a good tool that they use to pry against that plastic belt adjuster pulley on the Maggie? I dont want to hurt the pulley and was thinking about making a curved wide spoon type tool to curve with that pulley to make that job easier, but if anyone has a good tool that they use please shoot me your idea. I would gladly pay for a slick tool that would make prying off of that tensioner bolt easier.

Not sure if it would work but a shock spanner wrench? They are curved to loosen the nuts on coil overs?? Or take an old screw driver and heat it and bend to fit it nice.

I just went through this and used a two foot long 3/8" extension. It was long enough to get good leverage and it didn't make a mark on the tensioner. It was fairly easy to get all I could out of the belt.

Sounds like the belt being that tight would be hard on the bearings.
